No module named Matrix

Dear readers of this list,

I compiled and installed matplotlib-0.86.2 on a Debian Sarge GNU/Linux system.
I can run some examples, e.g. agg_test.py or glyph_to_path.py, however, most
examples end with an error message like this:

tobias@...994...:~/matplotlib-0.86.2/examples$ python simple_plot.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "simple_plot.py", line 6, in ?
    from pylab import *

  File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/numerix/__init__.py", line
62, in ?
    from Matrix import Matrix
ImportError: No module named Matrix

I reinstalled matplotlib according to the matplotlib-FAQ and tested again and
got the same error message. I also changed in ~./matplotlib/matplotlibrc
numerix from Numeric to numpy or numarray, but I got similar error messages.
I have python2.3-numeric and python2.3-numarray installed
under /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Numeric
and /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/numarray, respectively.

What do I have to do to get matplotlib running?

Thanks for helpful hints in advance!

Yours sincerely

Tobias Hilbricht

Hello Nils,

I found the reason for the error message - in Debian python2.3-numeric is not
enough, python2.3-numeric-ext is also required for matplotlib to work.

Sorry for bothering you, thanks for trying to help me!

Yours sincerely
