This gives:
In [1]: from distutils import sysconfig
In [2]: sysconfig.get_makefile_filename()
Out[2]:
'/auto/nest/nest/u/ondrej/repos/python-hpcmp2/opt/profile/eoul/lib/python2.7/config/Makefile'

It contains the lines:
CPPFLAGS= -I. -IInclude -I$(srcdir)/Include -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
LDFLAGS= -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
So indeed this is causing it. I think this comes from building our own
Python, which I do with:
----------------------
#!/bin/bash
set -e
export arch=$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/$arch -L/lib/$arch"
export CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/$arch"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/$arch"
# Fix for #21:
export HAS_HG="no"
./configure --prefix=${PYTHONHPC_PREFIX}
---------------------------
And this is a bit of a hack too, Ubuntu specific etc. I think I should
start fixing things here.
It just wouldn't occur to me, that remains of how I built Python would
bite me later when building
matplotlib.
So to test if modifying the Python makefile fixes it, I did:
--- Makefile.old 2013-05-06 16:26:25.426440205 -0600
+++ Makefile 2013-05-06 16:27:05.282439550 -0600

but mpl build system still shows the system one. The _png.so is built with:

-L/usr/lib -lpng12 -lz -lstdc++ -lm -o
build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/matplotlib/_png.so
Which in my opinion looks good -- my own version of PNG is offered
first on the gcc command line. But the -lpng12 part spoils it --- that
forces gcc to use the systemone, because my own version is newer.
So I think that part of the problem gets fixed by modifying the Python
Makefile, but the other part of the problem is how to force distutils
to look for my PNG version before the systemwide. Any ideas?
Maybe it is something that is added by the mpl setup.py script.

This is amazingly broken.
