Hi,
I installed matplotlib on my home pc with no problems but I followed the
same protocol on my work pc and got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
from pylab import *
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pylab.py", line 1, in <module>
from matplotlib.pylab import *
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\__init__.py", line 677, in
<module>
rcParams = rc_params()
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\__init__.py", line 598, in
rc_params
fname = matplotlib_fname()
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\__init__.py", line 548, in
matplotlib_fname
fname = os.path.join(get_configdir(), 'matplotlibrc')
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\__init__.py", line 242, in
wrapper
ret = func(*args, **kwargs)
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\__init__.py", line 438, in
_get_configdir
raise RuntimeError("Failed to create %s/.matplotlib; consider setting
MPLCONFIGDIR to a writable directory for matplotlib configuration data"%h)
RuntimeError: Failed to create C:\/.matplotlib; consider setting
MPLCONFIGDIR to a writable directory for matplotlib configuration data
...I checked and none of the python directories are read-only. I also
followed the instructions on the thread 'runtime error' which dealt with I
think the same problems, but after patching the cutils.py (line 79) and the
__init__ (line 435) files, I now get a new error:
from matplotlib import mpl # pulls in most modules
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl.py", line 1, in
<module>
from matplotlib import artist
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\artist.py", line 3, in
<module>
import matplotlib.cbook as cbook
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'cbook'
Any advice would be appreciated, I can't understand what is different
between the two systems. My home pc is vista, while work is XP pro. Python
2.5.2, scipy, numpy and matplotlib all installed from binaries.
Thanks,
Dave
