[Matplotlib-users] problem compiling _na_image.cpp in matplotlib-0.63.4

[Wasinee R. <was...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am having a problem getting the image extension to compile due to an obscure
problem I cannot understand because other extensions have been
compiled properly.

The error is that a variable is not declared which is strange:

src/_na_image.cpp:780: `png_infopp_NULL' undeclared (first use this function)

We are using gcc 2.95.3 and this is matplotlib-0.63.4. See below for the output
of the whole setup session.

Our Linux setup environment is not standard,
so I am not sure if this is specific problem with our setup for png or
is is really a bug?
I would appreciate any help I can get.

Regard,
- WR
