Before running it I: - deleted everything in ~/.matplotlibrc. - .../site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data to ~/.matplotlibrc and stripped out all but a few options (something I'd never tried before, but I'm hoping it'll leave me a matplotlibrc file that is compatible with future versions of matplotlib, for a change): backend : TkAgg numerix : numarray interactive : False verbose.level : debug-annoying verbose.fileo : sys.stdout I then ran the test: >>> from pylab import * >>> plot([1,2,3,4]) >>> show() The crash happens after the show(): ... RendererAgg.draw_text RendererAgg._get_agg_font alloc: invalid block: 0xa08acb4: a 74 0 The full log is here: <http://rowen.astro.washington.edu/mpl.txt> One other thing that may be relevant (and is in the log): whenever I run matplotlib for the first time after deleting the font cache, I always get a spate of warnings like this: 455: UserWarning: Could not open font file /System/Library/Fonts/LastResort.dfont -- Russell ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
