But numscons does not have this problem, as it reuses distutils for all the packaging, and handles compilers in its own way. I am pretty sure it will be easier to fix whatever numscons issues crop up while trying to build matplotlib than building it from scratch or worse, trying to fix distutils. cheers, David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
