Re: [Matplotlib-users] problem building matplotlib
Thanks Eric, The gui dependencies are secondary, but I will look into that. Since they are optional, the absence of them should not be the cause of the failure, but it looks like it might be. Is that the case? cheers Dan On Tue, 2010-09-14 at 21:42 -1000, Eric Firing wrote: On 09/14/2010 01:36 PM, Dan Kortschak wrote: Hello, I just tried to have just tried to build matplotlib, but it fails - and is unable to find wxPython (looking under 2.8 rather than 2.6 where is lives - installed from source) or libgtk-2 headers (installed from apt repo). Can anyone suggest how to resolve these issues? If you want to use wx, you need 2.8. It looks like you don't have any of the gui dependencies.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] problem building matplotlib
I've just has a look at that and unfortunately it does not fix the problem Is there any other suggestion that might be worth a try? I should point out that I already have numpy 1.4.1 installed and scipy 0.8.0 as dependencies for other packages. thanks Dan On Tue, 2010-09-14 at 21:42 -1000, Eric Firing wrote: Since you you are running ubuntu, I suggest you use the installation method recently described in this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg18464.html Be careful to read down through the thread; the first try at comprehensive instructions has an error. -- Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev ___ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
Re: [Matplotlib-users] problem building matplotlib
That fixes the problem. thanks On Wed, 2010-09-15 at 07:30 -1000, Eric Firing wrote: Looking again at the original build output, and at setup.py and setupext.py, it appears that there is a bug in the latter. If the wrong version of wx is found, it should be disabling the attempt to build wxagg, and reporting wxPython: no. We need to fix the bug, but the workaround for now is to use a setup.cfg file with wxagg = False Eric -- Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev ___ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
