Re: [Matplotlib-users] Postscript problem

[Johann Cohen-T. <co...@sl...>]

hello,
so the freetype.rc is defined with env variables that are supposed to be 
fed in when packaging it. LIBZ seemingly was missing when the fedora 8 
packaging of freetype was done. I added -lz directly to freetype.rc and 
rebuilt successfully matplotlib. I have no clue which mailing list to 
ping for a fedora packaging issue....
Anyway, end of story for this part of the thread....

best,
Johann
