Hi Mike. After another day of fiddling (including a new build of Python using --enable-uncode=ucs4) I've decided to return to my barely working installation and generate plots on a separate machine. I tried removing /usr/local and it caused more trouble than progress. I've got to get some

Hi Mike, thanks for responding. I spent most of last night with this, re-installing Python using SuSE's package manager, re-installing matplotlib the same way. No joy. I tried downloading the matplotlib source and found that when I attempted to install, setup.py claimed I didn't have gtk

Hi everyone, I'm running Suse10.2 and installing packages using Yast (after much pain trying to install Numpy and Scipy without it!). After installing (and re-installing) Matplotlib in this way, I get the error, ImportError: matplotlib/ft2font.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_GetSize when I

I recently ran into a similar problem myself building stuff from source, but I'm not sure of the specifics with SuSE and their packages etc. Python can be configured in two ways -- with two-byte (UCS2) or four-byte (UCS4) Unicode characters. Apparently the default for a source installation of
