Cannot load pylab...

Hi all,

I newly installed matplotlib 0.71 on my slackware 10 with numarray 1.1 and python 2.4, the installation goes well, but when I try to launch pylab I get the following error:

You need to tell Matplotlib that you are using numarray instead of Numeric.

It can be specified in your matplotlibrc file or at runtime:

> python myscript.py --numarray # use numarray
> python myscript.py --Numeric # use Numeric

See section 1.2.1 of the users guide.
