I have been unable to build/install Matplotlib 1.0.0 on a 64-bit
Ubuntu 10.04 system for Python 2.6.5. The build process starts ok, but
after sometime the following message
*creating /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mpl_toolkits
*
is displayed and the build comes to a halt. I looked in this folder
and it is empty. Note, I need vers. 1.0.0 since the previous version
(0.99.1.2) that is available with the Synaptic Package Manager, does
not contain some modules that I need for my applications.
Any suggestions would be appreciated --- I do need Matplotlib 1.0.0 on
my Ubuntu 10.04 system.
I just tried building the most recent version of matplotlib on a 64-bit
Ubuntu 10.04 system and the build proceeded without any errors. As
shown on the installation instructions page
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html), ensure that
you have installed ipython, numpy, libpng and freetype. You should also
have the package build-essential on your system. Then, I think that you
should run the following commands:
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
Since /usr/local/lib is a system directory, perhaps the problem is due
to permissions required to write to this directory?
