Re: [Matplotlib-users] installation problem

[Benjamin R. <ben...@ou...>]

One possibility is that with v1.3, we changed how packaging was done.
Unfortunately, this did cause some transitional issues. The best bet is to
uninstall *all* versions of matplotlib, pylab, and mpl_toolkits first, then
re-install v1.3.1. Note that waiting for the v1.4 release wouldn't
necessarily solve anything as it is the transition *from* older versions of
matplotlib that is the issue rather than transitioning *to* newer versions.

Hopefully this helps,
Ben Root
