Hi,
I want to build executables from python scripts that call matplotlib under linux. To this end I have installed cxfreeze on my
SuSE 11.2 machine
I have tried two methods
1. Execute the command 'cxfreeze script.py'
and
2. Creating a setup.py script
import cx_Freeze
import sys
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
executables = [
cx_Freeze.Executable("script.py", base = base)
]
cx_Freeze.setup(
name = "script",
version = "0.1",
description = "Sample matplotlib script",
executables = executables)
and then execute 'python setup.py build'
In both cases I get an executable, but when executed I get the following error
RuntimeError: Could not find the matplotlib data files
The version of matplotlib I am running is 0.99.1.1 and Python 2.6.2
Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions to resolve this, thanks
Peter
I have no experience with cx_freeze, but the page on packaging matplotlib with py2exe may be relevant. You do need to find a way to convince cx_freeze to include the data files and then a way for matplotlib to find them at run time.

I managed to resolve it, by following Mike's hint thanks Mike.
It was simply to change the setup.py script to
import cx_Freeze
import sys
import matplotlib
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
executables = [
cx_Freeze.Executable("script.py", base = base)
]
cx_Freeze.setup(
name = "script",
options = {"build_exe": {"include_files":[( matplotlib.get_data_path(),"mpl-data")],}},
version = "0.1",
description = "Sample matplotlib script",
executables = executables)
