[Matplotlib-users] Problems using with pylab on Solaris

[Gregory S M. <gs...@cs...>]

I a having trouble getting pylab working on Solaris.  I can get it to 
install *I think* (though who knows how right it really is) but trying to 
use it just gives me an error.  I admit that I know almost nothing about 
python and I know less about Solaris than GNU/Linux...  I'm just tasked 
with installing.  If anyone can point me in a direction, that would be 
great.
