You are apparently working on a platform 'osf1V5' that we haven't
encountered before.  What platform is this?

You need to add that platform as a key to the
basedir dictionary in setupext.py

basedir = {

    'win32'  : ['win32_static',],
    'linux2' : ['/usr/local', '/usr',],
    'linux'  : ['/usr/local', '/usr',],
    'darwin' : ['/usr/local', '/usr', '/sw'],
    'sunos5' : [os.getenv('MPLIB_BASE') or '/usr/local',],
    'osf1V5' : ['/your/base/dir1', '/your/base/dir2'],
}

where /your/base/dir are the base paths to the system libraries.
Also, you may want to install pygtk or Tkinter or wxpython if you want
to use matplotlib from a GUI.
