Now untar your numpy, go in, build and install:

Ok Eric and Ben,
You made  my day --- I now have the latest numpy and matplotlib up and running 
on my Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit system. Some preliminary testing indicates things are 
working as they should. I am now summarizing what you had posted earlier on this 
problem Eric, so that others might benefit from your expertise  (as I have):


*#  Thanks to Eric Firing (efir...@hawaii.edu) who is a member of the matplotlib
#   user group for this clever use of Linux commands to accomplish the task
#   that solved my problem :-)
#
#  Lets "clean the slate" before a reinstallation (if you believe older versions 
are present)

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/matplotlib*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pylab*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mpl_toolkits/mplot3d

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid1
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mpl_toolkits/axisartist
sudo rm  /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mpl_toolkits/*.py*

*# Install all the dependencies (installs an old version of numpy)
sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib
# Now to get rid of the old version of numpy
sudo apt-get remove python-numpy

# Download the latest numpy tar, untar it, then navigate to
#  where setup.py for numpy is located and give the following commands
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

# Repeat the previous for matplotlib (download tar, untar it, etc.)
python setup.py build
python setup.py install*

and th-th-tha-that-that's all folks!

Never, have installed from svn; but, I assume that there is a tar file there 
that I can download and use for a 64-bit Linux system.

Yes, I have already done this; but, I will check this carefully again before I 
start the reinstallation process.

This is exactly where I was headed --- a complete and new mpl installation with 
the latest matplotlib.

Thanks for all the tips and pointing me in the correct direction. I will get 
back to you on how it went.

Horrible mistake on my part.  Put your version and mine together, and it 
works:

sudo apt-get remove python-numpy

Eric,

I keep on forgetting about that useful build-dep command.  Maybe it might be
a good idea to include some of this information in the documentation as a
tip of some sort?  I should also  see if yum for RedHat-based systems also
have something similar.  Finding all the dependencies can be a little
tedious at times and I often over-do it.

Virgil,

If so, then chances are that one or more backends were not built

matplotlib and numpy.

obviously this was not the case. And I have looked at the FAQs and help
given at matplotlib's homepage.


If you would like up-to-date versions of both numpy and matplotlib, then 
you can either find and install the *dev packages individually, or do 
something like this:


sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib
sudo apt-get remove python

Now untar your numpy, go in, build and install:

setup.py build
sudo setup.py install

And last, do the same for matplotlib, preferably with a checkout from 
svn.  Some bugs have been fixed since the last release.


Before all of this, you might do well to uninstall whatever versions or 
parts of numpy and matplotlib had been installed via your previous efforts.


The point of the first apt-get is to install things like freetype and 
the gui toolkits.  The only problem is that this also installs an old 
version of numpy, hence the second apt-get command.


The good news is that once you get over the hump of having the

Virgil,

Did you build matplotlib from source?  If so, then chances are that one or
more backends were not built properly.  This typically happens if you do not
have all the build dependencies.

Note, the build will not necessarily fail if some dependencies are missing
because the core portions of matplotlib still build successfully.

Virgil:

Probably your default backend on Ubuntu is a non-gui backend (like Agg).

See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#backends 
for the definition of a "backend" and how to change the default.

[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib on Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)

[Virgil Stokes]

 I have tried to produce a very simple plot with my recent installation 
of matplotlib (1.0.0 64-bit) and numpy (1.5.0 64-bit) using the

print matplotlib.__version__
print numpy.__version__

plt.plot([1,2,3,4])
plt.ylabel('some numbers')
plt.show()*

If I execute this in Windows 7 (64-bit) it works correctly. If I execute 
this in Windows Vista (32-bit) it works correctly.
If I execute this in Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit the versions are printed out 
correctly and thus I believe that the packages are being imported; but, 
/no plot is produced!/


Why not?
