Just installed FC6 onto AMD 64 bit processor and have installed Python.
I have also installed numpy and matplotlib however when I run IPython
and begin importing items I run into a problem when try to import pylab.
Specifically I receive the following dump:
In [3]: import pylab
···

I am new to this and would appreciate any help in resolving this
problem. Thanks.
