Installation issue

Ok, so I have upgraded gcc to 3.4.4 and built Numeric and Matplotlib with
it. Both install fine. However, when I try to import the pylab interface, I
get the following traceback:

import pylab

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pylab.py", line 1, in ?
    from matplotlib.pylab import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py", line
198, in ?
    from axes import Axes, PolarAxes
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/axes.py", line 14,
in ?
    from axis import XAxis, YAxis
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/axis.py", line 25,
in ?
    from font_manager import FontProperties
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py",
line 39, in ?
    from matplotlib import ft2font
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so:
undefined symbol: FT_Get_PS_Font_Info

To me it sounds like there is an issue with the Freetype library. Any idea
what I can do about that?

Appreciate your help.

Well, it's an old server box of my faculty at the university. I'll see
what
I can do about it.

Thanks for your advice.
