Hi all,

I have been having problems with Matplotlib on Ubuntu 8.04 (AMD-64).
Specifically, I am having trouble with the backends. If I build
Matplotlib separately I get the following for information about
backends.

OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES
                libpng: 1.2.15beta5
               Tkinter: no
                        * Tkinter present, but header files are not
found.
                        * You may need to install development
packages.
              wxPython: 2.6.3.2
                  Gtk+: gtk+: 2.12.9, glib: 2.16.3, pygtk: 2.12.1,
                        pygobject: 2.14.1
                    Qt: no
                   Qt4: no
                 Cairo: 1.4.0

In fact, I do have Tcl/Tk headers but they are not found. This is a
known issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02799.html

However, when I look into the install.log file of Sage I find:

OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES
                libpng: 1.2.15beta5
               Tkinter: no
                        * Tkinter present, but header files are not
found.
                        * You may need to install development
packages.
              wxPython: no
                        * wxPython not found
                  Gtk+: no
                        * Building for Gtk+ requires pygtk; you must
be able
                        * to "import gtk" in your build/install
environment
                    Qt: no
                   Qt4: no
                 Cairo: no

It can not find anything and so does not build any and so various
tests fail. I also tried using sage -python to build Matplotlib with
the same result (no backends found).  I was hoping to use another
backend until a fix for the tcl/tk problem is found.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Cheers,
Adam
