install problem with python 2.5

Hi,

me again :slight_smile:

Hi,

I am trying to install matplotlib 0.87.7 with my newly
separate installed python 2.5. For this I installed 'pygtk
2.4.1' and numpy 1.0 using this python 2.5 installation.
Now, running 'python2.5 setup.py build' I get this error:

...

it seems, that matplotlib tries to use the old installed pygtk version; the new
one is located in /usr/local/include/...

I could fix this problem with setting:

BUILD_AGG = 0
BUILD_GTKAGG = 0
BUILD_GTK = 1

but now, I get the following problem:

node1~$ python2.5 [05 Dec 7:45am]
Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Dec 2 2006, 19:02:24)
[GCC 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import pylab

The import of the numpy version of the nxutils module,
_nsnxutils, failed. This is is either because numpy was
unavailable when matplotlib was compiled, because a dependency of
_nsnxutils could not be satisfied, or because the build flag for
this module was turned off in setup.py. If it appears that
_nsnxutils was not built, make sure you have a working copy of
numpy and then re-install matplotlib. Otherwise, the following
traceback gives more details:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/python-2.5//lib/python2.5/site-packages/pylab.py", line 1, in <modu

    from matplotlib.pylab import *
  File "/opt/python-2.5//lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py", line
199, in <module>
    import mlab #so I can override hist, psd, etc...
  File "/opt/python-2.5//lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/mlab.py", line 6
4, in <module>
    import nxutils
  File "/opt/python-2.5//lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/nxutils.py", lin
e 17, in <module>
    from matplotlib._ns_nxutils import *
ImportError: No module named _ns_nxutils

import numpy

I checked the setup script; it says:

# these are not optional
BUILD_FT2FONT = 1
BUILD_CONTOUR = 1
BUILD_NXUTILS = 1

so _nxutils should be installed and numpy loads without any problems!? Does anybody have an idea?

Greetings!
Fabian
