[Matplotlib-users] Histogram example doesn't run

[Bernd E. <mo...@su...>]

Hi,

being a complete newbie, I tried to run the simple_plot example from the 
website with matplotlib-0.99.0. However, I get the error message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "simple_plot.py", line 5, in <module>
     plot(t, s, linewidth=1.0)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 
2135, in plot
     ax = gca()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 
582, in gca
     ax =  gcf().gca(**kwargs)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line

     return figure()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line

     **kwargs)

glib.GError: Couldn't recognize the image file format for file 
'/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/images/matplotlib.svg'
--------------------------------------------------------------------

It works with 0.98.5.3. Is this a bug or could anything be wrong with my 
installation?

Regards,
Bernd
