I'm a sys admin trying to install the matplotlib python package for someone
on our staff. I'm not overly familar with python.
We are trying to use matplotlib with pylab.
uname -a
Linux andromeda 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4smp #1 SMP Thu Oct 20 01:51:51 EDT 2005
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
The python version we have is the default that we got with the Fedora Core 4
package.
python -V
Python 2.4.1
I've installed using /usr/bin/easy_install:
matplotlib-0.90.1-py2.4-win32.egg numpy-1.0.3.1-py2.4-win32.egg
If we get in to python and give the command:
>>> from pylab import *
We get:
==

I've read that numeric may need to be installed, so I got "Numeric-24.2"
and did:
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
That didn't help solve the issue.
Is there some other package that needs to be installed? I checked the FAQ
and this issue does not seem to be there.
