[Matplotlib-users] Missing undocumented Matplotlib prerequisites on Windows (?)

[Matt F. <fa...@ea...>]

Matplotlib on Windows installed via the latest binary for Python 2.4  
(matplotlib-0.90.1.win32-py2.4.exe)
complains about not finding the Microsoft C runtime (MSVCP71.dll).  
Reading the microsoft documentation about this DLL it seems that  
matplotlib should be including it in the binary package above.

I usually install the Python 2.5 version on a Windows machine that  
has Visual Studio and personally have not run into this problem, but  
ran into it when installing on a User's machine.

I don't recall seeing this on matplotlib.sf.net. Perhaps it is a  
known issue.

Thanks,
Matt
