[Matplotlib-users] Installing matplotlib

[<rei...@gm...>]

Hello,

it's me again, I found my mistake, I specified the wrong path when  
installing pygtk. But now, I have a problem installing matplotlib. When  
I type

python setup.py build

it terminates with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "setup.py", line 125, in ?
     try: import gtk
   File  
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3//lib/python2.3/site- 
packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 37, in ?
     from _gtk import *
RuntimeError: could not open display

What is going wrong? I have no idea...
Thanks
Reik
