yes, we know and we are working on it (I'm holding this back a bit due to other committements, and because ubuntu is in feature freeze for the upcoming release). > so I tried to untar and install the source file. > The installation went smoothly, and when I print the value of __version__ > from matplotlib within ipython, it says "0.99". > However, when I try to import axes3d from matplotlib, it shouts at me that > this module is disable in matplotlib 0.98 (!). > So the question is, should I uninstall 0.98 before compiling the 0.99 source > or what? well, this is hardly a question for this list (I see it more for ubuntu forums), but yes, either you remove python-matplotlib package (it's and 'apt-get update' away to reinstall if needed), or you play with sys.path, PYTHONPATH, and so on. For personal packages, you can also install them into a directory in ~ (using the --root and --prefix when setup.py install).
