And this: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7022. Actually I got the above from that. >From there (username is "was", probably William Stein): "All it does is take the plane vanilla matplotlib-0.99.1.spkg spkg and add a little script that simply rebuilds f2font.so again using *exactly* the same command lines used by distutils to build that extension. That's it. For some reason -- probably involving environment variables (?) -- this fixes the problem. I consider this a temporary 1-sage release solution until the matplotlib developers (or me) come up with a real fix." I downloaded that script, and reproduced the functionality with my framework Python 2.6. The resulting ft2font.so differs binarily from the original ft2font, and ... indeed it runs smoothly with that ft2font.so. What the hell is happening here? Is it really CXX related? What environmental variables are set by the mighty distutils? Feel free to start a new thread on -devel as soon as you have some solution or idea :-) Friedrich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
