Hello,
I am trying to build matplotlib from source on CentOS. I have installed all
the dependencies, including numpy, freetype, libpng, etc. I also have both
the C and C++ compiler (gcc and cgg-c++) installed in /usr/lib/. However
when running python setup.py install I get the following error message:
pymods ['pylab']
packages ['matplotlib', 'matplotlib.backends',
'matplotlib.backends.qt4_editor', 'matplotlib.projections',
'matplotlib.testing', 'matplotlib.testing.jpl_units', 'matplotlib.tests',
'mpl_toolkits', 'mpl_toolkits.mplot3d', 'mpl_toolkits.axes_grid',
'mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1', 'mpl_toolkits.axisartist',
'matplotlib.sphinxext', 'matplotlib.tri', 'matplotlib.delaunay', 'pytz',
'dateutil', 'dateutil.zoneinfo']

I have scoured the web with no solution. Please HELP!
Thanks,
