Hello,
I'm having an issue building Matplotlib. In reality the build process
finishes without error, but afterwards I get this error when importing
pyplot:
[kpi@dev-outils lib.linux-x86_64-3.3]$ python3.3
Python 3.3.2 (default, Sep 17 2013, 10:40:41)

I don't know a thing about building C extensions, but if I understood
correctly some pasts posts in this list and others, this problem might be
caused by a library that is compiled with an incompatible version of GCC.
My first suspect was freetype, so I downloaded and compiled v2.4.12 using
gcc44 (which is the same compiler I used to build python3.3 and matplotlib).
But the problem persists... My question is: *how can I know wich library is
causing the issue, so I could recompile it?*
Or, if I am completely missing the root cause, thank you for steering me in
the correct direction :-)
More detailed info follows. Thank you for your help !

Here is the information asked for in the troubleshooting FAQ:
[kpi@dev-outils matplotlib]$ uname -a

But please, note that I am using a Python version built by myself (not the
version that comes with CenOS 5.9) using gcc 4.4.7 (and not gcc 4.1.2)

Here is what I modified in setup.cfg last time (but I also tried with an
unmodified version with the same results):
[gui_support]
agg = True
cairo = False
gtk = False
gtk3agg = False
gtk3cairo = False
gtkagg = False
macosx = False
pyside = False
qt4agg = False
tkagg = False
windowing = False
wxagg = False
[rc_options]
backend = Agg
I didn't modify any other config file. Here is the output of the build
process:
[kpi@dev-outils matplotlib-1.3.1]$ python3.3 setup.py build
