Hi folks,
I am trying to install Matplotlib 1.4.0 on an older laptop, running
Ubuntu 12.04. I am committed to Python 3. In the standard Ubuntu
repositories, python3-matplotlib (of any version) is unavailable until
Ubuntu 13.04.

OK. Problem solved. I succeeded in building and installing Matplotlib.
It looks like I don't have any backends installed, but I'll fix that next.
I had freetype12 installed, but NOT freetype-dev. I figured this out by
looking at the source code of setupext.py. Ordinarily I get more
descriptive error messages when a Matplotlib build fails. Even if
they're coming from the C++ compiler, I get the name of the file which
triggered the error, and it is usually related to the name of the broken
package.
