I have finally successfully installed Matplotlib on solaris. Let me put my steps here for reference.
# set environmental variables CFLAG="-I/development/SUNWspro/include" LDFLAG="-L/development/SUNWspro/include -lCstd" # my CC and cc are in the directory /development/SUNWspro/bin. #"-lCtd" is needed, otherwise libstdc .so would be used instead of libCstd.so and you would get symbol relocation errors on importing pylab. # as the building use the $CC for compiling .c, .cxx, .cpp file, we have to change $CC in the building CC=CC python setup.py build CC=cc python setup.py build CC=CC python setup.py build CC=cc python setup.py build CC=CC python setup.py build CC=cc python setup.py build # finally we are ready to install python setup.py install I hope it helps others who want to install Matplotlib on solaris. It took me a long time to figure out what was causing the "no imput file found" error and the "symbol relocation error". Daniel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
