Greetings, Did you download the win32_static folder and place it in the top level of the matplotlic source?
I had similar problems building on my windows machine until I did this and now it works fine. You might also check all the README documents, as one of them gives you more information about building for windows. -Patrick On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 8:17 AM, Marcin Krol <mrk...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I'm trying to get 0.98.5.2 installed on Windows to use Python 2.6 > (dependency packages I need to use on that version, long story, etc). > > When I was trying to build it (python setup.py build), it was finding > the VC 9.0 C++ compiler on my comp.
