Re: [Matplotlib-users] "typename" compile problem with pygtk (solution)

[Niklas V. <mit...@we...>]

Hello!

The problem was a problem with pygtk 2.4.0 and was caused by a parameter 
name "typename" which for C++ is also a keyword.  Any C++ application 
using pygtk was affected and agg (which matplotlib is using) is written 
in C++.  The fix to this problem was (among other few changes) to rename 
"typename" to "_typename", which was done in CVS shortly after pygtk 
2.4.0 was released.

In conclusion, just download pygtk 2.4.1 from pygtk.org and it will work!
