Re: [Matplotlib-users] Cannot build matplotlib-0.63.4

[Chris <rea...@po...>]

Hi John,

I let gentoo/portage decide where all the applications are built to and it 
overrides the default configure settings to put things into /usr rather 
than /usr/local - i think the rational is that if I am letting portage/gentoo 
handle the management of a package then it should be ok in /usr. That way 
anything that I build that there is not an ebuild for goes into /usr/local.

Anyway - I checked that the output of 'pkg-config --cflags-only-I pygtk-2.0'
it is - '-I/usr/include/pygtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 
-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include' 

And pygtk-2.2.0 is/was installed into /usr and there were no problems so I 
don't think that that is the cause of the problem.

I actually don't even have a /usr/local/include directory - I have never 
manually installed a programme which keeps its headers available!

Cheers
Chris
