Hi John, Looks like in the previous mail, i had set the build numarray on, now i removed that flag, and the installation went on smooth, and i could 1) pygtk, 2) gtk, and 3) matplotlib things went smooth so far, and i run most of the examples bearing some. Now i will try to set things to auto slowly and try the rest. BTW: the following were the developmental packages that i needed here: (At work our sys's have not installed any of the developmental packages) audiofile-devel-0.2.3-6.i386.rpm gtk2-devel-2.2.1-4.i386.rpm esound-devel-0.2.28-4.i386.rpm gtk+-devel-1.2.10-25.i386.rpm freetype-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm imlib-devel-1.9.13-12.i386.rpm freetype-devel-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm ORBit-devel-0.5.17-7.i386.rpm freetype-utils-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm pygtk2-1.99.16-8rh9.i386.rpm glib-devel-1.2.10-10.i386.rpm pygtk2-devel-1.99.16-8rh9.i386.rpm gnome-libs-devel-1.4.1.2.90-32.i386.rpm pygtk2-libglade-1.99.16-8rh9.i386.rpm Many had circular dependences, and hence the requirement.
