The log looks ok, although the lines are remarkably short, compared to building on a Mac. Did you modify CFLAGS or CC? The ``-I.`` should just do the trick, at least. So I wonder if, for some reason, maybe your CWD is no longer the matplotlib root directory. I could imagine that it has either sth to do with your gentoo ebuild or with Python3k's distutils? Just a rough guess. > I am afraid that this might have something to do with the my ebuild, > so could someone tell me more about how the building process works? Or > how much it is different for python3 compared with python2? For py2k it's just pythonX.Y setup.py build and then pythonX.Y setup.py install, if you want to install. ft2font.so is built during the build step. I believe it's the same for py3k. I actually don't know if it'll work if you say e.g. pythonX.Y matplotlib.git/setup.py build ...... might be an mistake in either distutils or the matplotlib build engine which I don't know at all (if there are additions from the mpl side to building at all.....). If I'm right a ``cd ........./matplotlib`` should do the trick. :-) I believe it's rare to invoke the setup.py from another directory than that where it resides in. I don't know how to build ebuild scripts. I'm just a user of them. cu, Friedrich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
