Re: [matplotlib-devel] matplotlib v1.1.1 (bugfix) rc1 on Thursday

[Rui D. <ru...@ya...>]

Thanks - had been looking at obsolete information. 


WRT inkscape and ghostscript, I have installed both but still got the same fails. 
Upon inspection it appears that both executables need to be on system path (perhaps this should be mentioned on the coding guide?), and that the code was only looking for the 32bit GS exe name (gswin32c instead of gswin64c that i had)

After that those tests all pass leaving me with:

FAILED (KNOWNFAIL=2, errors=144)


WRT files bug, I'll monitor that PR and test, thanks.

Regards,
RuiDC

The bulk of the KNOWNFAILs are occurring because you do not have the pre-requisites installed for testing the PDF, SVG and PS backends.  The test requirements for these backends are described at

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/coding_guide.html#requirements

The bulk of the other failures are occurring because you are hitting the "too many open file" bug on windows.  This has been addressed in this pull request, and we'd be happy to have testers on windows of this PR
