The compiler that ships with Fedora 9 is a little more strict about C
header file usage from a C++ file. This was fixed in matplotlib SVN
less than two weeks ago.
You can either
a) checkout the maintenance branch from SVN, which is basically like
0.91.2 but with a number of small bugfixes, including this one:
svn co
https://matplotlib.svn.sf.net/svnroot/matplotlib/branches/v0_91_maint
matplotlib-0.91.x
b) manually apply this diff to your 0.91.2 copy:
http://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/matplotlib?view=rev&revision=5128
I'd recommend a) if you're comfortable with subversion.
Cheers,
Mike
