Hello,
today I tried to install mpl in my local home directory at work. This
debian distribution is very old and I had to compile for my own.
But I failed to compile pygtk (special cairo and pango) as a dependency
for mpl. So I have two questions:
1. Does you have an advice to compile mpl with minimal dependencies?
2. Does anybody know a good python dirstibution including mpl?
Thanks,
Friedrich

You can copy "setup.cfg.template" to "setup.cfg" and then edit the [gui] section to disable certain GUIs. You will need at least one GUI -- TkAgg is probably going to be the easiest to get working on an older system. You will need to have Tkinter and the Tcl/Tk development headers installed, however.
2. Does anybody know a good python dirstibution including mpl?
Enthought has one, but I have no experience with it.
Cheers,
Mike

It might be worth keeping an eye on Python(x,y). It doesn't have a linux
installer yet, but it looks like Pierre is working on it.
