Re: [matplotlib-devel] 1.3.1rc1 tagged

[Christoph G. <cg...@uc...>]

Hello,

`matplotlib-1.3.1rc1.tar.gz\matplotlib-1.3.1rc1\lib\matplotlib.egg-info\SOURCES.txt` 
contains absolute paths to `/usr/src/CXX/*.cxx` files and therefore 
distutils fails to build installers on Windows. Deleting the .egg-info 
directory works for me.
