[Matplotlib-users] Problem with matplotlib under aix 6.1

[David R. <Dav...@no...>]

hello,

Sorry for my poor english.

I have a big problem with matplotlib under AIX6.1.

My configuration :

OS : AIX 6.1
XLC : 12.1.0.0
Python 2.7.5-1

I installed Python and all dependencies from www.oss4aix.org/download/RPMS with the rpm files.
This is the all packages that I installed:

In the first step I spent a lot of time to compile matplotlib. This is what I did to install matplotlib :

>From sources I installed NUMPY, SETUPTOOLS,  PYTHON-DATEUTIL

With easy_install I installed  TORNADO, PYPARSING



I need to do some changes in sources of matplotlib:

I create a link in the sources directory  : ln -s /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/config Modules

I create a xlC script
cat > xlC << EOF
/bin/bash
Modules/ld_so_aix
EOF
chmod a+x xlC

python setup.py install


With all this, the compilation ends.

When I check the use of matplotlib

import matplotlib
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot
a=np.arange(100)
pyplot.plot(a)

At this point I'm so happy !!!!!!

BUT, when I want plot the array !!!!
pyplot.show()

I had a segmentation fault ...... HELLLLLLLLLP !


My first question : Do somebody  is able to plot something with matplotlib uner AIX 6.1 ???? And HOW ???

Do you know a howtodo page to do a correct installation ?

Thank you !
