I have cross posted this at Stackoverflow.com
I installed python 2.7.2 from ActiveState and then installed matplotlib from the sources. I getting errors when I tried a simple plotting procedure to test it.
The error is similar to the one described here (Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.) but it is for Macintosh. I work on a Linux machine and the info about machine is given below:
% cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 4.6 (Final)
% uname -a

scdbuild04 2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Nov 16 12:49:06 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The error is produced by:
