[Matplotlib-users] std::numeric_limits

[Trevor P. <tr...@ir...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile matplotlib-0.54.2 on FreeBSD 4.8, using =
gcc-2.95.3. =20

In _transforms.cpp, std::numeric_limits<double>::max() and ::min() =
aren't present, so I've tried replacing them with #include<float.h>, =
DBL_MIN and DBL_MAX.

However, now an error is being raised in ticker.py:get_locator(), line =
638:

            try: ld =3D math.log10(d)
            except OverflowError:
                print >> sys.stderr, 'AutoLocator illegal dataInterval =
range %s; returning NullLocator'%d
                return NullLocator()


I.e., the OverflowError is occurring.  I'm assuming this is cause of the =
change I made; I can run the same test script under Windows with no =
problems (but the test script is a little too involved for me to paste =
here).

Does anyone have ideas on a better workaround?
