cygwin compile?

Has anyone been able to successfully compile matplotlib in Cygwin? I would imagine so, so if you’ve been able to do it, please help! Not quite sure why I’m having so much trouble, but the errors from the build step are below.

I think perhaps the python lists are empty (can’t figure out what version of the libraries I have). Could someone please instruct me as to how to fix this? It’d be much appreciated. Thanks.

$ python setup.py build

basedirlist is: [’/usr/local’, ‘/usr’]
