Nadia, John,
Thanks for the help/pointers. Unfortunately nothing worked so far.
I started with gcc 3.4.3 and even compiled latest available 3.X gcc (3.4.4) but that did not help.
It sounds like older versions of Solaris work. In my case downgrading the OS is not an option.

The only way I can compile matplotlib on Solaris is using gcc
(by setting CC to gcc).
I am on Solaris 8 and use gcc 3.2.2.
Python was compiled with Sun's compilers, but I think as long
as python version is 2.3 or later, distutils will pick up the
compiler from the environment variable CC.Nadia
