[Matplotlib-users] building on python2.4 on powerpc

[Scott H. <sc...@cs...>]

Hi, I'm trying to build matplotlib on an ubuntu hoary powerpc system
using python2.4, and I'm running into what seems to be some kind of
infinite loop?  Basically the compiler just sits there and eats up all
my processor with no further output to the screen.  I am compiling an
ubuntu package that I found, but it is matplotlib 0.73.1.  I reproduced
the bug with a simple python2.4 setup.py build and it still failed in
the same way.  Here is the output of that command.

After this it just hangs and my cpu is pegged at 100%.  Any thoughts?
Thanks.
