[Matplotlib-users] Failing to install matplotlib with python 3

From: Alan <ala...@gm...> - 2016-06-16 16:08:04

Hi there,

I am not the admin so I have installed my own python 3.5.1 and I am using
pip3 to install all modules I need. I got all but matplotlib :-(

pip3 install -U matplotlib

                    Collecting matplotlib
  Using cached matplotlib-1.5.1.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/tmp/pip-build-6eka4_fr/matplotlib/setup.py", line 167, in

        result = package.check()
      File "/tmp/pip-build-6eka4_fr/matplotlib/setupext.py", line 980, in

        c = self._cmp(other)
      File "/sw/arch/Test2/lib/python3.5/distutils/version.py", line 337,

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in

What am I missing here please?

Thanks,

PS. btw, with python 2.7.11 all went fine.

Alan,

This mailing list is obsolete; please use mat...@py....

Your traceback looks vaguely familiar as something that has come up 
before, but I don't have any more recollection than that.  Suggestions:

1) Install your python environment the easy way via anaconda or 
miniconda: https://www.continuum.io/downloads

2) If you are *sure* you don't want to do it that way, make sure you 
have the most recent version of pip.

3) Likewise, install the most recent matplotlib.  See attached message.

Eric

By the way does this:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip  # upgrade to latest pip
pip install -f https://nipy.bic.berkeley.edu/manylinux -U matplotlib

work for you to install matplotlib 1.5.1?

Or this, to install 2.0 pre-release?

python -m pip install --upgrade pip  # upgrade to latest pip
pip install -f https://nipy.bic.berkeley.edu/manylinux -U --pre matplotlib

Best,

Matthew

Thank guys, it was an old pkg-config in my PATH. It's now sorted.
