Error installing matplotlib on cygwin

You can try the solution outlined in the following thread:

  http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2003-September/182451.html

If this doesn't work for you, then try the standard windows python
distribution and MinGW as the compiler, following the instructions on
this page:
