After installation, I only ran a simple code attached below. I found that I got this run time error from "from pylab import *".
I did go through what Mark Hamilton posted: Index: cutils.py =================================================================== --- cutils.py (revision 5001) +++ cutils.py (working copy) @@ -79,7 +79,7 @@ raise RuntimeError("""\ '%s' is not a writable dir; you must set %s/.matplotlib to be a writable dir.

However, I got the same error after changes. Did I do right? I install matplotlib by: python setup.py build python setup.py install How can I install it by svn trunk?
