Index Out of Range Error after Installation on RHEL5

Hi,

I have Python 2.6 installed on RHEL5 (and Numpy 1.4.1) and am trying to install matplotlib. Installation occurs without any error messages although I do get a bunch of warnings at the end.

When I try using matplotlib I get the following error:

Any help would be appreciated. I've tried several versions of matplotlib. I also was able to get it installed on a different RHEL5 machine a while back and am not sure what is different about this machine.

thanks

Dharhas,

Is it possible to find out which version of python was installed for your other RHEL5 machine? I don’t know if that makes a difference or not, but RHEL5 by default uses Python 2.4.

Ben,

The matplotlib on the other working machine is using python 2.6.4. On this machine I am using python 2.6.5.

The default python on both machines in python 2.4 but I set up python 2.6 as an alternate install in /opt/python26.

For some reason, installing inside a virtualenv was the problem. I installed it using easy_install outside of the virtualenv and it worked fine. The virtualenv setup works on the other RHEL5 machine so I'm not sure why it didn't on this one.
