[Matplotlib-users] install from svn on Linux not working for me

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

My goal is to just get the lastest svn version of matplotlib, or, if
not that, just the 0.99 version, up and working on my Linux (Intrepid
Ibex) computer.  I checked it matplotlib out from svn fine, and then,
as per the webpage, did:

> cd matplotlib
> python setup.py install

and that resulted in a very large amount of errors.  I'll post them at
the bottom of this message, since there are many lines.

I previously had 0.98.x installed, via the Ubuntu repositories, but I
have uninstalled it.  My version is:
Linux ubuntu 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:40:41 UTC 2008
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any help is appreciated.  Thank you,
Che
