has anyone had any success compiling matplotlib in cygwin? i had some rebasing problems that i got around, but when i finally got everything to install without any complaints and did "import pylab" i got dumped out of python altogether without any errors.
some thing i did: cd /usr/lib ln -s libtk84.a libtk8.4.a ln -s libtcl84.a libtcl8.4.a cd / find /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages -name "*.dll" > /etc/setup/python-site-packages.lst (remove all initial slashes) gzip /etc/setup/python-site-packages.lst (exit all cygwin and 'rebaseall') cd /tmp tar xzvf matplotlib-0.86.2.tar.gz cd matplotlib-0.86.2 (edit matplotlibrc) (change to "backend:TkAgg" and "numerix:numpy") (edit setup.py) (change to 'backend':'TkAgg' and 'numerix':'numpy') (change to "BUILD_GTKAGG = False") (change to "BUILD_GTK = False") (change to "BUILD_TKAGG = True") python setup.py build python setup.py install -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
