Sorry, I did not see that ... thanks!
maptlotlib gets its gtk configuration from the pkg-config commands, eg
> pkg-config --cflags-only-I gtk+-2.0
make sure your pkg-config is picking up the new pygtk you have
installed, and if not set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
See 'man pkg-config' for more details.> from matplotlib.pylab import * File

>>>> import numpyIt appears you did not have numpy installed when you built
matplotlib. Grab numpy-1.0 from http://numpy.scipy.org and install it
(it's an easy install compared to mpl). Then rebuild and reinstall
matplotlib and you should be good to go.
The numpy module is actually working (at least I could do an
'import numpy' without any response and was installed
before the matplotlib!? I try it again ...
Thanks and Greetings!
