I'm the Debian maint (while working with Ubuntu one) so I suggest to use the code in our SVN repository to build the package: <get the mpl tarball, v0.98.5.2 should be fine, name it matplotlib_0.98.5.2.orig.tar.gz> <untar it in a dir called matplotlib-0.98.5.2, that will contain the mpl files> cd matplotlib-0.98.5.2 svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/python-modules/packages/matplotlib/trunk/debian/ sudo apt-get install build-essential debuild -us -uc <install the missing build-dependencies returned from above commands and reiter if needed> It's a little bit tedious (and the build will take a while) but in .. you should find the .deb to install. If "someone" would release .3, we could package it for Debian systems :) :) > Well, I have googled the error message: "ImportError: libffi.so.4: > cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" and it > seems that a few other Python applications are crashing with this > error under Ubuntu Intrepid (but I could not find any solution, just > error reports). libffi received a SONAME bump to .5 (infact, now the package is called libffi5), so there might be something still referring the old library, that probably went removed during upgrade (Ubuntu QA work.....) > I am not sure if compiling from source would help in this case, > because the error seems to be related to a missing system (?) library > and not to MPL or any of the backends. yes, it would help. because relinking to new lib will fix those broken links. Let us know any progress.
