I'm checking the matplotlib-0.91.1 gentoo ebuild that S=E9bastien Fabbro pu=
t=20
together. After installing, I get a number of errors when running=20
backend_driver.py that are probably related to MANIFEST.in: missing pyplot=
=20
and npyma. There are many other errors exposed by backend_driver as well, b=
ut=20
maybe some will clear up with an improved MANIFEST.

Charlie, will you have time to upload an improved src distribution any time=

soon?
