I can't reproduce this here (on RHEL4 with mpl 0.98.5). What version of matplotlib is in the enthought distribution?
> python Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, May 7 2008, 12:40:32) [GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import matplotlib >>> matplotlib.__version__ '0.98.5.3' What would be helpful to narrow this down is a backtrace from gdb. Just run "gdb python", then "run script.py" (where script.py is the path to the script that segfaults). When it segfaults, it should drop you back to the debugger prompt, where you can type "bt" to get a backtrace. Copy-and-paste that back here, and it may give us some clues.
