Dear All,
I apologise if this is naive, but I am having problems with matplotlib. I downloaded it as a tar ball from SourceForge
and it all compiled and installed without any error. I have the following
setup.
Download source
SourceForge - matplotlib-0.98.5.2.tar.gz
OS
OpenSUSE 11.1
gcc
gcc version 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] (SUSE Linux)
uname -a
Linux trevor 2.6.27.7-9-pae #1 SMP 2008-12-04 18:10:04 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
python
Python 2.6
matplotlib
>>> import matplotlib; print matplotlib.__version__
0.98.5.2
I have taken the default 'matplotlibrc' from the web site and it is stored in ~/.matplotlib
The problem I have is then when I issue the following
from pylab import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pylab.py", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py", line 206, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl.py", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/artist.py", line 5, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/transforms.py", line 34, in <module>
ImportError: No module named _path
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks
Peter
