You shouldn't need a separate pycxx - all the cxx requirements ship
with matplotlib, and the paths to them are hardwired in the setup.py
file. Try this ( I know you already got it working but it would be
helpful for me if there is a problem to know the source of it)
1) get a new copy of matplotlib (perhaps you got an incomplete
download) -
http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/matplotlib/matplotlib-0.64.tar.gz
2) unpack it in a new directory so that you have a clean build tree
3) rm -rf your site-packages/matplotlib tree
4) python setup.py build. If the build fails, please capture the
standard output and standard error from the build process and send
it to me.
Thanks,
JDH
