[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib._path failed on windows build for Python 2.6

[Lorenzo Di G. <lor...@gm...>]

Hello,

I've tried to build matplotlib 0.98.5.2 for Python 2.6 under Windows
(Win2k) using MinGW and win32_static.  After a few fixes, the compilation
and install appear to be ok, but I've got stuck at importing
matplotlib._path (see transcript below).
Any suggestions on what is going wrong and how to fix it?
