Yes i will try that to start with. In the end, i'll want to use Agg
though, given the apparent quality of the plots.

gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)

I wanted to try the Intel c++ compiler for Linux, but am not sure how
to tell setup.py which compiler i want to use and with which options.

'python setup.py build' eventually gives

gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -Isrc -Iagg2/include -I/usr/include/freetype1 -I/usr/local/include/python2.3 -c src/_backend_agg.cpp -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.3/src/_backend_agg.o
In file included from /usr/local/include/python2.3/Python.h:8,

Many thanks for the help.
