[Matplotlib-users] Installation error

[Gary R. <ga...@me...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to install matplotlib and am getting the error:

[lots of OK output]
g++ -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/src/_png.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/src/mplutils.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/CXX/cxx_extensions.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/CXX/cxxsupport.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/CXX/IndirectPythonInterface.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/CXX/cxxextensions.o -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 -lpng -lz -lstdc++ -lm -lpthread -ldl -lutil -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/matplotlib/_png.so

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
