[matplotlib-devel] trouble building on red hat.
I am having a heck of time getting matplotlib installed on my amazon ec2 cluster. (I am new to python) I wonder if the problem is /usr/python points to an old version of python. I need to use /usr/bin/python2.7 I have tried using yum, yum-builddep, pip2.7, downloading the the source , and even cloning the master Yum see to know about /usr/bin/python which is an old version I need to use /usr/bin/python2.7. I tried searching for a RPM (http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/python-matplotlib) how ever I only found really old version. I have tried editing File "setupext.py", line 940, in check, looks like the min version is 2.4 I have 2.3.x But still can not figure out what the problem is Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] trouble building on red hat.
I think this is a bug that had been fixed on both master and 1.4.x. If I recall correctly this is an issue with free type (#3471 fixes it). The other work around is to install freetype-dev.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] trouble building on red hat.
Also, make sure that you don't have conflicting installs of packages all over the place. Be sure to remove the build/ and dist/ directories if you have a failed build before trying again. Also, it shouldn't be much of an issue that there are multiple pythons in the same system, as python tends to do a good job keeping such things separate for you. Just make sure you are using python2.7 and pip2.7 commands for the entire software stack. Cheers!

Re: [matplotlib-devel] trouble building on red hat.
Many thanks Ben and Thomas, the following worked! I think the problem was when I cloned the repo and download the source the first time I was not getting the correct version Andy wget https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/archive/master.tar.gz tar -zxvf master.tar.gz cd matplotlib-master/ yum install freetype-devel yum install libpng-devel python2.7 setup.py build python2.7 setup.py install From: Benjamin Root Date: Sunday, October 12, 2014 at 1:06 PM To: Thomas Caswell Cc: Andrew Davidson , matplotlib development list Subject: Re: [matplotlib-devel] trouble building on red hat. > Also, make sure that you don't have conflicting installs of packages all over > the place.
