Hello all,
I've looked through the archives and can't find a solution to this. Sorry if it is already there, please point me back in that direction if so!
matplotlib appears to compile and install fine. However when I try to import pylab, I get an error:
Python 2.3.4 (#5, Jul 12 2005, 11:42:21)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I tried upgrading to the latest version of Python, and get a slightly different error - a different symbol can't be found:

There seem to be problems with the ft2font.so library. Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Ben.
