hi I am running python 2.5 and installing the matplotlib using synaptic so it is installing the correct version (I assume). After installing matplotlib, In the help(), this is what i get when asking for the modules liist:

Are you running the correct Python (not accidentally running Python2.4, for example)? Do you have a /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib directory? What is the exact error message when you import pylab? Cheers, Mike Marjolaine Rouault wrote: > Hi, > > I am not managing to ge matplotlib to work with the new Ubuntu realease hardy > 8.04.
