[Matplotlib-users] TkAgg not rendering

[Dominique O. <Dom...@po...>]

Hi,

I have seen related issues recently on the mailing list. I have built 
the latest matplotlib from CVS in SuSE Linux 8.0 with gcc 3.3. The GTK 
backend works fine, but GTKAgg and TkAgg pop up a window but don't 
render the plot. Has anyone had the same problem?

Here is the output of ldd -r _tkagg.so

	libtk8.4.so => /usr/local/lib/libtk8.4.so (0x40003000)
	libtcl8.4.so => /usr/local/lib/libtcl8.4.so (0x400d2000)

undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4	(./_tkagg.so)
undefined symbol: PyArg_ParseTuple	(./_tkagg.so)


It looks like these 'undefined symbols' are not the cause of the 
problem; they are missing from every .so in my site-packages. They must 
be linked in at run time from somewhere else.

I see that in a previous post, you recommend to link in -lX11 -lXaw,
what exactly do you mean by that? To which command should those be appended?

Thanks in advance !
