Yes, both are mandriva packages: python-matplotlib-0.87.4-2mdv2007.0 python-numarray-1.5.2-1mdv2007.0 Given there isnt a python-numpy package for x64-64 right now (there is a devel one, so not sure why no main package), I will go ahead and try to build from scratch. Thanks, Suresh On Thu, 2

The exception I posted is being thrown by numarray, so it is definitely being used. As I stated, it was thrown while executing one of the examples provided with the matplotlib package: #!/usr/bin/env python # barchart_demo.py # a bar plot with errorbars from pylab import * N = 5 menMeans = (20
