i am having trouble installing matplotlib from source and thought i
would post my issue here.
i download matplotlib version 0.91.0
i am using a version of scientific linux, so i can't use rpm packages
for some packages
# uname -a
Linux labcalx 2.6.23.8 #1 Fri Nov 23 10:54:41 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
i verified that i had the following packages installed via rpm:
matplotlib core: zlib, zlib-devel, libpng, libpng-devel, freetype,
freetype-devel, freetype-utils
• gtk backend: gtk2-devel, gtk+-devel, pygtk2, glib-devel, pygtk2-devel,
gnome-libs-devel, pygtk2-libglade
• tk backend: tcl, tk, tkinter (and tk-devel)
the wxpython package is not available on rpm for me (at least not that i
can find) so i downloaded the source. that also seemed to compile and
install fine. the libraries are in /usr/local/lib and that path is
referenced in file
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/wx.conf
the ldconfig command seemed to find this okay and that looks like it
should work.
as per the user install guide, i downloaded setuptools-0.6c7-py2.3.egg
without any trouble
here is my output from the build command:
