[Matplotlib-users] can't find pygtk

[Michael A. <kmi...@gm...>]

I am using matplotlib 1.1.0 that came with the current EPD, which in 
turn comes without pygtk.

However, the linux system I am using this on (CentOS6) has pygtk installed:

/usr/lib64/pygtk/2.0

Is there any change I can marry those two? Currently, when I try to
matplotlib.use('gtk')
I get an error
ImportError("Gtk* backend requires pygtk to be installed.")

Or do I need to recompile it into this matplotlib?

Thanks for your help!

Michael

PS.: The reason why I want to try GTK is actually that there are 
reports of it being able to cope with 1 million data points, something 
all other Agg-related backends can not do, apparently. (My linux is 
server is definitely not the limit ;)
