Hello,
I've juste downloaded the last version (0.8) of matplotlib and
successfully built it on SunOS 5.8 with GTK backend (gcc 3.2.2).
"import matplolib" is OK but typing "from matplotlib.pylab import *"
result in a core dumped ! without any error message or exception...
"import gtk", "import pygtk", and "import wx" works OK.
I've tried with version 0.72, same error :
Python 2.4.1 (#3, Apr 14 2005, 10:58:02)
[GCC 3.2.2] on sunos5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from matplotlib.pylab import *
Bus Error (core dumped)
One more thing is that after importing matplotlib, I got an error when
using help :
python

I really don't know where to begin to isolate the problem.
Do I missed an option in the build process to have some kind of debug ?
What can I do to help you better understand the problem ?
Thank you in advance for your help,
