Re: [Matplotlib-users] installing matplotlib on ubuntu

[Ryan K. <rya...@gm...>]

I recently installed matplotlib on ubuntu Breezy and it went fairly
well.  I was having some problems that I thought were from John's
package not working on Breezy but turned out to be something else.  I
ended up installing from source.  It is fairly straight forward to
download the tarball and do a sudo python setup.py install.  I ran
into some problems with needing the wxPython.h header file for the
WXAgg backend.  If you look for a thread I started with the subject
"WXAgg's accelerator requires `wx-config'." you should find that Ken
and Arnd got me through it.  Let me know if you get stuck anywhere.
