matplotlib Redhat 9.0 install problems

Just looking at the output it appears as if the changes

No, it looks like we are doing something wrong. I can't believe it
has not been reported in the umpteen mpl releases that have had this
problem....

build_transforms needs to call

  add_base_flags(module)

before the call to

        ext_modules.append(module)

in both the Numeric and numarray sections. Ditto for the
build_contour function in setupext.py.

Hope this helps! Let me know...

Yes, this fixed it! Thank you.

BTW
A new identical problem appeared which was easily fixed by doing the same thing to the build_contour function.
