Dear colleagues,
Yes, I’ve downloaded the latest stable
image of Matplotlib source from the pypi repository matplotlib-1.5.1.tar.gz,
running the commands: sudo python setup.py build
and sudo python setup.py install
.
When executing larger plots, the Agg
crashes with a segmentation fault message. My guess is that the c header
files are not compiled with the correct platform setting (s390x). Is
there a way to rebuild
the c prerequisites used by the embedded
Agg framework?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Regards,

Matplotlib & Basemap / What is the Best Graphical Back-end for Raster
Data Display (.png) ?
Matplotlib will not work at all without AGG. Even the
AGG-less backends still use AGG for image handling (imshow() and such).
We can not guarantee that matplotlib would work with agg
2.5, as that is the GPL’ed version. We develop against a patched 2.4 branch
of AGG (which is BSD-licensed), which is distributed with our source, and
is built as part of our build process. Have you tried building matplotlib
directly from our source without a system install of AGG?
Cheers

Dear colleagues,
I like to receive an advice about the best back-end choice for Matplotlib
& Basemap to generate large .png images in a background processing
mode.
Having issues with the pre-compiled “Agg” package which does
not work under my machine architecture. Also not able to recompile the
Agg 2.5
package as its build throws an error at the build script autogen.sh. Error:
./configure: line 15546: syntax error near unexpected token $SDL_VERSION,' ./configure: line 15546:
AM_PATH_SDL($SDL_VERSION,’
When bypassing this line it runs into another dependency which is blocking
the make install process.`
libtool: link: cannot find the library ../src/platform/X11/libaggplatformX11.la' or unhandled argument
…/src/platform/X11/libaggplatformX11.la’
Makefile:1166: recipe for target ‘aa_demo’ failed
make[1]: *** [aa_demo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/data/Downloads/agg/agg-2.5/examples’
Makefile:481: recipe for target ‘install-recursive’ failed
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1`
I do not plan to use any interactive access, so my guess is that excluding
X11 libraries should work OK.
My test showed that the “Cairo” package is working fine,
but its quality (vector oriented) is not as good compared to the Agg raster
display. Case the “Agg”
is not able to install on my machine, is there an alternate graphical back-end
available under SuSE environments?
