I posted this on scipy-user ML, then tried here and it bounced (?), so now I'm trying again. Sigh...
OK, so I can't import pylab, but everything else (import numpy, scipy, matplotlib and gtk) works fine. These are installed: scipy.__version__ returns '0.5.1' numpy.__version__ returns '1.0rc1' matplotlib.__version__ returns '0.87.6' My options in setup.py for matplotlib was set to build Agg and GTKAgg ( = 1) only, the others all = 0. If I leave them at 'auto' as per default, matplotlib doesn't build (?). I use Ubuntu Dapper - AMD64. Over the weekend I managed to find the cause of the problem: Me. I set Agg = 1, GTKAgg = 1 and GTK = 1 (the rest = 0) in setup.py and now the pylab interface is happy. Previously GTK = 0 and it seems pylab was looking for a shared library that's built if GTK = 1. -- wh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
