[Matplotlib-users] Lots of Error Messages Upon Invoking "from pylab import *"

[<ro...@yo...>]

Hello:

I am using kanotix which is a very stable debian sid system.  I intalled the
 matplotlib package from the debian database successfully.  It may have
pulled in python 2.4 as well.  Please see what happens when I use the
command "from pylab import *" within python.

Can someone please help me with this?

Kind regards,

Angelo
