Hello All, I've been using zope and matplotlib for some time now, and I want to connect them. I'am using the example code from page: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Matplotlib_and_Zope , but whenever I try to import matplotlib, and/or pylab packages i get this error from zope:
Error Type: RuntimeError Error Value: '/' is not a writable dir; you must set environment variable HOME to be a writable dir Have You got any ideas, on what might go wrong? Is it a problem with matplotlib itself? Have anyone had the same issue? I'am using matplotlib 0.87.4, and zope 2.9.5 with python 2.4.3 on gentoo linux box. Thanks in advance for any help.
