Hi people,
I'm new to unix, python and matplotlib. I've had trouble installing matplotlib.
The machine I'm on is running solaris. I tried installing it on my friend's
ubuntu box and it worked basically immediately. After some effort I managed to
get it to compile and install on solaris.
In python as root when I type "from pylab import *" I get this error:
=========================
ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: relocation error: file
/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/matplotlib/_path.so: symbol __1c2N6FI_pv_:
referenced symbol not found
=========================
As my normal account I get this:
=========================
Traceback (most recent call last):

_get_configdir
raise RuntimeError("'%s' is not a writable dir; you must set %s/.matplotlib
to be a writable dir. You can also set environment variable MPLCONFIGDIR to
any writable directory where you want matplotlib data stored "% (h, h))
RuntimeError: '/local/host/home/mctran' is not a writable dir; you must set
/local/host/home/mctran/.matplotlib to be a writable dir. You can also set
environment variable MPLCONFIGDIR to any writable directory where you want

=========================
when I tried to set MPLCONFIGDIR to a directory, I got the earlier error. I
tried recompiling and reinstalling to no avail.
I searched on the mailing list for anything like this, but there were no hits.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
