Hello.
I installed matplotlib from source in Mac OS 10.6. However, I am
unable to print this simple example plot:
from pylab import *
plot([1,2,3])
show()
Here is what I get when I try using TkAgg as the backend:
casa98-125-dhcp:.matplotlib lisa$ python simple_plot.py --verbose-

$HOME=/Users/lisa
matplotlib data path /Users/lisa/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
matplotlib/mpl-data
loaded rc file /Users/lisa/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc
matplotlib version 0.99.1.1
verbose.level helpful
interactive is True
units is False
platform is darwin
CONFIGDIR=/Users/lisa/.matplotlib
Using fontManager instance from /Users/lisa/.matplotlib/fontList.cache
backend TkAgg version 8.5

_tkinter.TclError: integer value too large to represent
I've tried the MacOSX backend and that opens a GUI that has the label
Figure 1 but no plot. Saving to a post script file does not work
either. Does anyone know what the problem is?
