Can't build matplotlib pygtk related?

Hi,

This is my first post to the list so hi everyone!

I am trying to build matplotlib on a freshly
installed CentOS 4 workstation.

I have read the FAQ about build problems with pygtk
2.4 is the problem fixed in my version?

[root@…1090… matplotlib-0.87.2]# rpm -qa | grep
pygtk

pygtk2-2.4.0-1

When I try python setup.py build it ends with:

error: Command "gcc -pthread
-fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe

-m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC
-fPIC

-I/usr/include/python2.3 -c src/_tkagg.cpp -o

build/temp.linux-i686-2.3/src/_tkagg.o" failed
with exit status 1

I also have an error at the beginning that says I
miss tk.h, my system is in french so I will not paste this part.

Thanks for your help and time,

Etienne

Have you installed the "devel" version of the package (contains
headers required for compilation)?

I also have an error at the beginning that says I miss tk.h, my system is in
french so I will not paste this part.

I just ran into this problem again myself, on an Ubuntu machine. It
has been present for a while.

A quick fix is to edit 'setup.py' and change the line

BUILD_TKAGG = 'auto'

to

BUILD_TKAGG = 0

Another solution is to install the Tk development headers. Under
Ubuntu it is in the package tk8.4-dev.

This is probably something that should be caught by setup.py
before building though!

Here is a one-line patch to make setup complain if tk.h isn't found.
