Dear list,
I am having problems installing matplotlib (from source) and fipy.
I had installed numpy from source and it is running well:
:~$ python -c "import numpy; print numpy.__version__"
1.6.1
After being trying to solve this problem on matplotlib list, I was
recommended to ask numpy list.
I copy-paste the errors below and forward the mails from matplotlib users.

BUILDING MATPLOTLIB
matplotlib: 1.2.x
python: 2.7.2+ (default, Oct 4 2011, 20:06:09) [GCC 4.6.1]
platform: linux2
REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES
numpy: no
* You must install numpy 1.4 or later to build
* matplotlib.
I do not understand why matplotlib can not see numpy. Please, see the
forwarded message. My notebook description:
Linux 3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 13:27:26 UTC 2011 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thank in advance for your help
Regards,
Lucia
