Hello everyone. I’m having some trouble compiling setup.py for Matplotlib. I’m trying to run it on Cygwin.
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 name 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)

I have Python 2.5.2 installed, as well as libpng, freetype2, and zlib, although for some reason the compiler cannot determine the version. I got Matplotlib from sourceforge. Here is the output when I run the code:
$ python setup.py build

IndexError: list index out of range
It seems as though the error is in line 900 of setupext.py, but I don’t have quite enough programming knowledge to be certain. Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
