[Matplotlib-users] Shared Installtion

[Jean-Baptiste C. <Jea...@de...>]

S=E6l !


I am trying to keep up  with the versions of matplotlib by sucessively inst=
alling them.=20
However I have to install it on many workstations that share folders over t=
he network

I would like to be able to install matplotlib into such a folder to avoid i=
nstalling it every time on each machine, but only once
It works fine with Numeric and other packages, but not with matplotlib:

 - I install matplotlib on my own workstation.
 - I copied recursively the folder  /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/matplo=
tlib into /home/stat/Pygtk/matplotlib
 - And then in my program I have added the location of the library to my pa=
th:
sys.path.append("/home/stat/Pygtk/matplotlib")

But I get the error message
[lws11] ~/devel/novi $  novi.py -m map  mixed.test.header.out
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./novi.py", line 19, in ?
    import matplotlib.matlab as Plot
  File "/home/stat/Pygtk/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 225, in ?
    defaultParams =3D {
  File "/home/stat/Pygtk/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 154, in get_data_path
    raise RuntimeError('Could not find the matplotlib data files')
RuntimeError: Could not find the matplotlib data files


Which other folder do I need to install or set a path to ?

Thanks
