Thanks Michael for your quick reply. I will consider use of the yum tool to
install the per-requisite and future updates.
Meanwhile I got a step forwards with help of the freetype developer forum
and I succeeded to build the freetype2 from the source. So I've also
repeated the "python setup.py build" which gave me a new error message
"cannot find -lz " . See the linker command below:
g++ -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-s390x-2.6/src/ft2font.o
build/temp.linux-s390x-2.6/src/mplutils.o
build/temp.linux-s390x-2.6/CXX/IndirectPythonInterface.o
build/temp.linux-s390x-2.6/CXX/cxx_extensions.o
build/temp.linux-s390x-2.6/CXX/cxxsupport.o
build/temp.linux-s390x-2.6/CXX/cxxextensions.o -L/usr/local/lib
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64
-lfreetype -lz -lstdc++ -lm -lpython2.6 -o
build/lib.linux-s390x-2.6/matplotlib/ft2font.so
/usr/lib64/gcc/s390x-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../s390x-suse-linux/bin/ld:
cannot find -lz
Hope somebody from this forum can give me some insights about this
dependency, to complete the matplotlib install process.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Claude

Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop
What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses
from deploying virtual desktops? How do next-generation virtual desktops
provide companies an easier-to-deploy, easier-to-manage and more affordable
virtual desktop model.http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51426474/
