Re: [Matplotlib-users] Error with bar charts

[Suresh P. <sto...@ya...>]

Thanks for the support.

I uninstalled numarray, and then compiled/installed most recent numpy and 
matplotlib from the tarballs.

And I am happy to announce I can now perform the mundane task of plotting 
barcharts and histograms. :)

Thanks again everyone,
Suresh
