Well, Xandros ship a python with no distutils.
Hmmmmmmmmmm, usefull.
Anyway, I have a clean reinstall now; but both mpl
deb's are broken (see below).
I am (reasonably) confident distutils will fine for
installing mpl, but I think there are 2 final hurdles:
1) agg
2) mpl build requires pygtk
1) Marcus Gruendler kindly supplied a line for
compiling agg from that list:
gcc -c -O2 src/*.cpp -Iinclude && ar rc
libantigrain2.a *.o
... after which i assume 'make', 'make install' will
work.
2) ./configure works for pygtk (see below).
I have stopped here for a rest. phew.
I am hoping 'make', 'make install' will ensure pygtk
is picked up when I build matplotlib - any pitfalls?
... and I only want matplotlib to draw pretty pictures

michael
============================= deb files on xandros and
elsewhere are broken ?
···
====================================================
ONE:
altered /etc/apt/sources.list by adding
deb http://anakonda.altervista.org/debian packages/
deb-src http://anakonda.altervista.org/debian
sources/
apt-get update
apt-get install python-matplotlib
python-matplotlib-doc
apt-get install python-matplotlib
python-matplotlib-doc
Reading Package Lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean
that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using
the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet
been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the
situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-matplotlib: Depends: python2.3-matplotlib (=
0.82-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
TWO:
looked for python2.3-matplotlib on xandros networks:
found python2.3-matplotlib on xandros: package size
is 2.21 MB
After selecting 'install', the xandos dialog box is
visibly broken, and no installation happens. This
happens consistently for all mpl related debs.
There is a python2.4-matplotlib (albeit with the same
broken dependancy) but no way of upgrading to python
2.4! I *paid* good English pounds
exchanged-at-an-artificially-favourable-rate for
xandros, so I will email them.
