No module named Matrix import error

Hi--

I'm trying to get matplotlib installed on my laptop before my holiday travels begin. I've acquired all the dependencies through synaptic and built matplotlib from source, but when I attempt to import pylab I get the following error:

This happens with Numeric specified in my matplotlibrc. If I specify numarray, I get a different import error:

So, I suspect something is wrong in Numerix, but I have no idea what, or more importantly how to fix it. Could anyone help? It would be much appreciated.

Please cc me; I am not subscrived to the list.

Thanks in advance,

Apologies for the double-post.

An update: installing scipy, then rebuilding and reinstalling matplotlib get things working using Numeric; numarray still fails. That fragility makes me worry something is still wrong, but I just got a basic test plot (1,2,3) to display using ipython, and that's good enough for me for now. Advice would still be welcome, but is no longer as desperate. =)

Also, I should have mentioned that the machine in question is Ubuntu 5.10 PPC. Tomorrow I'll see if I can get matplotlib successfully installed on the MacOS X side...

Hoping this message helps someone else down the line (and that the list will forgive me asking and then answering my own question...),
