[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib FC3 install problems (was Re: matplotlib Redhat 9.0 install problems)

[Rick M. <rm...@sa...>]

First, let me tell you how jaw-droppingly-cool I think matplotlib is. I  
think I've used every plotting package for Python out there, and  
matplotlib is the best of them all. These are truly "publication  
quality" graphics. Congratulations on a wonderful package.

Now, being that cool, I want to install them everywhere. I found a  
binary version for the mac (although I would prefer to install from  
source...), but I'm having a hard time building on Fedora Core 3. The  
RH9 thread and the patch recommended therein was helpful, but I'm still  
getting a bug:

I just re-tried this with the CVS version (I note you've fixed the RH9  
bug therein), but this bug still occurs. Any suggestions? Thanks in  
advance for your help.
