I'm experimenting with installing a full python/numpy/scipy/matplotlib etc. suite on a RedHat Enterprise 5 system, and trying to document what would be the simplest procedure to accomplish each step.
I managed to install numpy using easy_install, but when I tried to install matplotlib using the same tool, I get the following errors: error: Setup script exited with error: Command "gcc -pthread -fno- strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes - fPIC -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I. -I/usr/local/include/ freetype2 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I./freetype2 -I/usr/local/include/ python2.5 -c src/ft2font.cpp -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/src/ ft2font.o" failed with exit status 1 Exception exceptions.OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'src/ image.cpp') in <bound method CleanUpFile.__del__ of <setupext.CleanUpFile instance at 0x1150f710>> ignored Exception exceptions.OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'src/ transforms.cpp') in <bound method CleanUpFile.__del__ of <setupext.CleanUpFile instance at 0x11510950>> ignored Exception exceptions.OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'src/ backend_agg.cpp') in <bound method CleanUpFile.__del__ of <setupext.CleanUpFile instance at 0x1150f3f8>> ignored Any tips? Do I need to install some sort of back-end infrastructure first? I'll be happy to provide more detailed error messages, or do some basic tests.
