I have python-2.6, matplotlib-0.99.1, spinx-0.6.5 installed on 
Fedora-11 via Fedora's package management system.  I unpacked the
matplotlib source in a tmp dir, cd'd to the doc/ dir, did "python
make.py html" and got a lot of warnings and errors that I do not 
recall.  Figuring it maybe needed the local src built, I cd'd to
matplotlib and did a "python setup.py build" which went ok.  
Retried the doc "python make.py html" -- this time failed 
when trying to build the examples/pylab_examples/loadrec.py 
example: could not import xlwt.  Downloaded, installed xlwt.
Still fails on same example, this time with core dump. 
(For  brevity I've left out a lot of other things I tried.)
Gave up.  :-(

Yes, after looking at it, I think it will do fine.  I posted 
while downloading it and didn't realize the api doc was included.
I guess what I am actually missing is only the examples.  If I
was doing something silly in my attempt to build above (was in a 
rush so read the install instructions pretty quickly) I 'll give
it another try.  Otherwise I think I can live without ther examples, 
or access them online.

Thanks for your response.
