Problem with matplotlibrc file

Hello,

I have installed matplotlib 0.87.7 (with the standard windows exe). If I use the provided matplotlibrc file I get errors complaining about the following lines:

lines.markerfacecolor : blue
lines.markeredgecolor
: black

Commenting them out stops the problem and matplotlib seems to run fine. Am I the only one getting this errors? Is this already known? Should I worry about it?

No, you did the right thing and it is nothing to worry about. I don't specifically recall the matplotlibrc file being out of sync in this distribution, but there have been big changes in the matplotlibrc file in svn so there is not much point in tracking down the problem in 0.87.7. It is harmless.
