problem compiling matplotlib (-mtune=i686)

Community matplotlib-users

I'm having problems compiling matplotlib. I'm running suse 9.3 (linux) and
have python:
Python 2.4.1 (#1, Sep 13 2005, 00:39:20)

I downloaded matplotlib-0.87.tar.gz, and have not changed the setup.py or
setupext.py at all. I think I have all the graphics things installed.

The error message goes:

[snip]

I cant find anywhere in the matplotlib-0.87 directory structure that sets
this "tune=i686". I have searched all the files in the directory structure
for "tune" and "i686", so I'm guessing it's set somewhere else, but I dont
know where.
Can anyone help?

thanks
Sue

Numpy and Scipy highjack distutils now, and this may be something they
add in. Do you ave numpy installed? That looks like a valid option
though.

erm. I'm not entirely sure. I've somehow broken my "yast" in suse whilst
trying to install matplotlib and now I cant see what's installed.
[ any help on how to fix a malloc memory corruption in yast greatfully
accepted :wink: ]
I ran python and tried to import numpy and scipy but that didnt work, so
I'm assuming I dont have them. (is there a better way to tell? - I'm sorry
if I sound very ignorant, but I've only been learning python a few weeks).

thanks alot.
Sue

Neither numpy nor scipy do anything to the main distutils. numpy.distutils
(replacing the old scipy_distutils) extends distutils only if you import it;
nothing happens to distutils if you just import numpy. matplotlib doesn't import
numpy.distutils at all.

I guess I find it strange that I always get color output when
compiling matplotlib now. I know it is using numpy's distutils
because I have done some printing in the setup.py before. I wonder if
having numpy and family installed with setuptools is doing this. Any
clues?

No, you're right, numpy.distutils is getting pulled in through the backdoor. I'm
entering this as a bug in numpy.
