[Matplotlib-users] Problems installing matplotlib-0.84 on solaris 5.8

[Martin K. <mku...@es...>]

Dear all,

an attempt to update from matplotlib-0.71 to matplotlib-0.84 on
a solaris 5.8 (GCC-3.3.2, Python 2.4.2) machine failed. The error message is:

In file included from src/_na_backend_agg.cpp:24:
src/swig_runtime.h: In function `int SWIG_Python_ConvertPtr(PyObject*, 
void**, 
   swig_type_info*, int)':
src/swig_runtime.h:1128: error: `Py_False' undeclared (first use this 
function)
src/swig_runtime.h:1128: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only 
   once for each function it appears in.)
src/swig_runtime.h: In function `PyObject* SWIG_Python_NewPointerObj(void*, 
   swig_type_info*, int)':
src/swig_runtime.h:1236: error: `Py_True' undeclared (first use this function)
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

The aim was just to install the 'agg' and the 'Tkagg' backends, the problems
seems to arise in the agg2.3 section (matplotlib-0.71 had agg2.2).

I browsed through previous list entries, but this problem seems to be 'new'.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the help,
Martin
