[Matplotlib-users] Installing matplotlib for python 2.6 under windows
Hi! I'm having a bit difficulty getting matplotlib to run under windows (vista x64) with python 2.6. I downloaded the source from svn, ran the build and install commands, then copied the content of /build/lib.win32-2.6 to Lib/site-packages folder. But when I try to import pylab I get the following error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File pyshell#0, line 1, in module import pylab File C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pylab.py, line 1, in module from matplotlib.pylab import * File C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pylab.py, line 207, in module from matplotlib import mpl # pulls in most modules File C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl.py, line 1, in module from matplotlib import artist File C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\artist.py, line 5, in module from transforms import Bbox, IdentityTransform, TransformedBbox, TransformedPath File C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\transforms.py, line 34, in module from matplotlib._path import affine_transform ImportError: No module named _path So, where might I find the _path module be?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Installing matplotlib for python 2.6 under windows
Aha, I did not have VC++ 2008 EE on my PC, so it actually didn't compile anything. Now that I have it, I get a dependency problem with Freetype2. The build command fails with: c:\python26\matpotlib\src\ft2font.h(13) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ft2build.h': No such file or directory I downloaded the windows binaries of freetype2 in gnuwin32 project, but it doesn't seem to help. Or do I need to download freetype2 source and compile that. If so, maybe there is a detailed (step-by-step) guide installing the dependecies (libpng, zlib, freetype), because they don't seem to have windows installers like numpy has that actually works with matplotlib. Any helpl appreciated. When might we see matplotlib binaries for python 2.6? Andrew Straw wrote: Romi Agar wrote: Hi!
