Hi
I was going through the sampledoc tutorial in http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/sampledoc/.
When
I came to "Sphinx extensions for embedded plots … ", sphinx-build
crashes when “matplotlib.sphinx.mathmpl” … were added to the
extensions section of conf.py.
I noticed a similar problem was reported on this mailing list March 23, 2010.
I
am running OPENSUSE 11.1 on a x86-64 computer, and my python is version
2.6. I reinstalled the latest matplotlib, “python-matplotlib
-1.0.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm” from the opensuse repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_11.1/x86_64. I also installed the latest sphinx with “easy-install -U Sphinx”.
When I run ‘make html’, here is what happened:
sphinx/sampledoc> make html
sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees . _build/html
Making output directory…
Running Sphinx v1.0.4
make: *** [html] Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I attached my conf.py and I uploaded the coredump (core.bz2) at:
http://sites.google.com/site/mislwagroup/coredumps-1
Thank you for your help!

Are you able to generate matplotlib plots directly -- in particular using the Agg backend?
Unfortunately, this coredump file isn't useful unless we have the exact same binaries as you.
Can you instead run this inside of gdb and get a traceback?
To get this, you will do something like (from the doc directory):
> gdb python
(gdb) run /usr/bin/sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees . _build/html
... it runs for a while and then crashes ...
(gdb) bt

What do you mean by the Agg backend?
I did run sphinx-build inside gdb as you suggested.
The attached file is the captured output.
Thanks!

The problem you are experiencing has nothing to do with sphinx or the
sphinx extensions, but is in your matplotlib installation. It may be
a SUSE bug, or you may be getting conflicting installs from the stuff
you are getting from SUSE and the stuff you are easy installing.
First thing to do is start nailing down what you are getting and where
you are getting it from. Paste these commands into your python shell
and report the output
import numpy as np
print np.__file__
print np.__version__
import matplotlib as mpl
print mpl.__file__
print mpl.__version__
A likely culprit is that you have an mpl compiled against one version
of numpy and you are dynamically linking against another that is not
ABI compliant.

Well, they are both coming from the same place so it looks like the
SUSE build of each. But the numpy version is quite old. Looks like
it may be an OPENSUSE bug

You could consider building matplotlib from source.
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#source-install
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#install-from-svn
or upgrading your linux distribution (ubuntu 10.10 is nice)

Thanks !
matplotlib (import pylab) works in the sage notebook ( http://www.sagemath.org/ )on my machine. The sage installation compiles everything from source!!
We are actually thinking of abandoning SUSE (after 5 years) and switch to ubuntu !
Thanks again!
