matplotlib gcc segmentation fault / exit status 1 on SLES and SUSE linux

I ran into a nasty problem and was stuck until I realized that my numpy version was 1.3 when it should of been 1.5. But the errors never gave me an indication that this was the issue. I had added the new repository but the package was from some previous installation.

I removed the old version of numpy and the reinstalled from the repository numpy 1.5 and matplotlib 1.0.0_15 and everything was happy crappy. I just thought I would save someone else from the headache.

Is there a listing of incompatible versions in matplotlib for dependencies? Because even when I tried from source it didn’t warn me it wouldn’t work.

iwm1-20:~/matplotlib # python setup.py install

basedirlist is: [‘/usr/local’, ‘/usr’]

BUILDING MATPLOTLIB

        matplotlib: 1.0.0

            python: 2.6 (r26:66714, May  5 2010, 14:33:49)  [GCC 4.3.4

                    [gcc-4_3-branch revision 152973]]

          platform: linux2

REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES

             numpy: 1.3.0

         freetype2: found, but unknown version (no pkg-config)

                    * WARNING: Could not find 'freetype2' headers in any

                    * of '/usr/local/include', '/usr/include', '.',

                    * '/usr/local/include/freetype2',

                    * '/usr/include/freetype2', './freetype2'.

It is working correctly just hope to save someone the headache.

Thanks

No, it was too late to save me from a headache :frowning:

But this indeed fixed my segmentation fault too, so thanks lot!

(Running OpenSuse 11.2; Python segfaulted on a mere "import
matplotlib.pyplot as plt" statement)

Can someone please update the system requirements / dependencies for
matplotlib, or fix this in the source code?

Regards,

Diederik
