Hi Nadia, Actually, I have successfully install matplotlib by being patient. I used CC=CC python setup.py build first and when it stops for the compilation of a .c file, I switch to CC=cc python setup.py build and let it run and switches again when it stops. Probably changing the Makefile as you say is a better way.
Now I have an import error though. I definitely have numpy installed and numpy.test() show all tests passed. >>> import matplotlib >>> import pylab The import of the numpy version of the _transforms module, _ns_transforms, failed. This is is either because numpy was unavailable when matplotlib was compiled, because a dependency of _ns_transforms could not be satisfied, or because the build flag for this module was turned off in setup.py. If it appears that _ns_transforms was not built, make sure you have a working copy of numpy and then re-install matplotlib. Otherwise, the following traceback gives more details: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/yfan/usr/local/share/ASpy25/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py", line 203, in <module> from axes import Axes, PolarAxes File "/home/yfan/usr/local/share/ASpy25/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/axes.py", line 14, in <module> import artist File "/home/yfan/usr/local/share/ASpy25/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/artist.py", line 4, in <module> from transforms import identity_transform File "/home/yfan/usr/local/share/ASpy25/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/transforms.py", line 223, in <module> from _transforms import Value, Point, Interval, Bbox, Affine File "/home/yfan/usr/local/share/ASpy25/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/_transforms.py", line 17, in <module> from matplotlib._ns_transforms import * ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: relocation error: file /home/yfan/usr/local/share/ASpy25/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/_ns_transforms.so: symbol __1cDstdMdomain_error2T6M_v_: referenced symbol not found Nadia Dencheva wrote: > Hi Daniel, > > I've seen that and the only way I can make Python pick up the right > compiler/linker is to modify python<version#>/config/Makefile, > specifically > the fields for CC and CXX > > CC = gcc > CXX = g > > but also on some occasions comment out pic32 > > CCSHARED= #-xcode=pic32 > > It is possible that the compilation of ctraits.c will fail because it > doesn't compile with g and needs gcc in which case you can run the > command > manually with gcc and continue building the rest of the package. > > These are all the gory details of compiling matplotlib on Solaris. > It's possible but it's a pain, I wish someone has a better solution > for this.
