Hi,

I'm trying to install matplotlib from the svn source.  I can compile
the code and install it to my desired location but I cannot import it
into python.

I did:

svn co 
https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib
matplotlib
cd matplotlib
python setup.py install --prefix=/home/glen/local

I have numpy and scipy installed and working correctly using the above
prefix and matplotlib compiles and installs the same way but when I
issue "import matplotlib as mpl" nothing results.  There is no error
but also no library.

>>> dir(mpl)
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__']

>>> mpl.__path__
['matplotlib']

>>> mpl.__file__
'matplotlib/__init__.pyc'


Where am I going wrong?

Glen
