Hi, I updated matplotlib to 0.99.1, and got a weird build failure:
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1obj': execvp: No such file or directory I realized that cc1obj stands for the objective C compiler, and that it is trying to build the macosx extension, but I am on Ubuntu with python 2.6, so it does not make much sense. The following lines in setup.py are a bit suspicious: if options['build_macosx']: if check_for_macosx() or (options['build_macosx'] is True): build_macosx(ext_modules, packages) rc['backend'] = 'MacOSX' This would always build the mac os x extension if options['build_macosx'] is True, which is the case for me (it is set-up in setup.cfg, which I did not touch). I am a bit surprised to see this, as I am sure I am far from being the first one to build this version of matplotlib on Ubuntu, cheers, David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
