Thanks for your response!

Yes, have installed:
python2.5: version 2.5.4-1ubuntu4
python-dev: version 2.6.2-0ubuntu1
python-numpy: version 1:1.2.1-1ubuntu1
libpng12-0: version 1.2.27-2ubuntu2
libfreetype6: version 2.3.9-4ubuntu-0.1
libfreetype6-dev: version 2.3.9-4ubuntu-0.1

Is the issue that I'm using python-dev version 2.6 for python version 2.5?
If so... I can't figure out how to add python-dev version 2.5... in Synaptic
Package Manager the only available python-dev package is 2.6 - I can't
"Force Version" to get 2.5 and I'm not sure whether I would mess anything up
elsewhere on my system by substituting 2.5 for 2.6.

Sorry, I'm not a ubuntu user, so I can't exactly tell how to do it. Of
course the devel package version mismatch the interpreter one, and
that's a problem for sure.

if you don't have a python2.5-dev or a python-all-dev IO think you
can't find an easy solution; since numpy does not yet support py2.6,
building mpl with 2.6 is still not a solution.

I discovered I actually did have python2.5-dev (just not a python-dev version 2.5!).

I compiled and ran the code, but I’m getting errors like:

In [2]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

···

ImportError: cannot import name interactive

I get errors like this too:

When I built, I got a bunch of warnings:

Normally when you compile and install from src, the default location is /usr/local rather than /usr. Did you override this with --prefix or --install-lib? If not, I wonder if you are not using the version you think you are. Also, check the FAQ

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html

For suggestions on how to get a clean build and install.

Yeah… I’m not sure either. Eventually I just through in the towel, deleted everything and sudo apt-get install python-matplotlb

Thanks for the help though!
