All: I am trying to build matplotlib 0.98.3 on a Red Hat Enterprise 5 linux box. I have Tkinter support compiled into my /usr/local/bin/python installation (at least "import Tkinter" raises no exceptions). However, when I try to build matplotlib using "/usr/local/bin/python setup.py build", I get the output below. Any hints? Is this my fault, or a bug in setup.py?
Thanks,
Mike

I installed the freetype-devel libraries and this problem went away.

Any chance you also installed tk-devel or tcl-devel? I can't see how
the addition of the freetype headers would fix a tk problem.

No. Interestingly, I didn't get the same errors this morning as I did last night - I got build errors regarding ftbuild (or something like that). I had just installed Tcl/Tk from source, so perhaps the first time my shell hadn't figured out where they were (??). After I installed freetype-devel, the build errors went away. The Tk errors vanished on their own.
I don't know why I have so much trouble building and installing software...
Thanks,
