A colleague of mine also suggested an alternative workaround that is
almost humorously simple. Define both the C and C++ compilers to be
"CC" when building matplotlib. That is, set the environment variable
"CC" to "CC" and "CXX" to "CC". Distutils will then use the C++
compiler for everythin

I've attached patches against Python 2.5 and 2.6 to that bug. Neither

Once doing that, you'll also need to make the following change to
matplotlib so that the correct C++ runtime libraries are used. Once I
This is a years-old known bug in distutils (which it looks like you've

terrible monkey-patching hacks that are certain to break on as many
systems as they fix. W
