 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.   Since you you are running ubuntu, I suggest 
you use the installation method recently described in this thread:

Be careful to read down through the thread; the first try at 
comprehensive instructions has an error.

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

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

 Hmm, that shouldn't be an issue.  Maybe you need to completely clean out
 the matplotlib build (by removing the build directory) and try again?
 Be sure to save the build output so we can see what happens if/when it
 fails.

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

It turns out that the _wxagg extension was specific to version 2.6, and 
for a long time we have required version 2.8, so there was no point in 
trying to build the extension.  In svn 8702 I removed the extension 
along with related 2.6-only code, and the setup.py references to 
building the extension.

  C++, typename is a reserved word there.

  You might try editing your copy of

 where it occurs.  It can't hurt; these are just dummy variable names.

  That is the solution, and you say the same that was adopted by the
project to solve the problem.
