Hello,
I am getting segmentation faults when I try to freeze a script which uses the TkAgg backend, on python2.5.2, gcc 4.2.3 (ubuntu 8.04, hardy heron). A trial script is:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("TkAgg") # unless you have it in matplotlibrc
import matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg # explicit for freezer
from matplotlib.pylab import plot, show
plot(range(10), range(10), "+")
show()
Is anyone already familiar with the problem? Things seem to work with the GTkAgg backend, but sadly many years ago I decided to use Tk as I thought it'd be easier to distribute. In order to reproduce the problem with bbfreeze you should just need this freezing script:
from bbfreeze import Freezer
f = Freezer("dist",
includes=("matplotlib",
"matplotlib.numerix.fft",
"matplotlib.numerix.linear_algebra",
"matplotlib.numerix.ma",
"matplotlib.numerix.mlab",
"matplotlib.numerix.random_array"))
f.addScript("t.py")
f()
For reproducing the problem with cx-freeze you need to (a) install it by patching the cx-freeze setup.py [so that (2, 5) -> (2, 6)] and (b) add an import for numpy.linalg.lapack_lite and edit your numpy.__init__ to remove numpy.test.
Thanks for any advice,
Jon

I assume you're using the matplotlib 0.91.2 that's distributed with Ubuntu 8.04.
There was a recent fix for segfaulting in the exact same place (outside of any sort of freezing apparatus). Since it was related to the interpretation of a pointer, it's possible that you would see this inside of cx-freeze and not outside on the same machine, just because things get loaded into different parts of memory. I would try that fix first, and then look at problems related to freezing.
We should have a new release out shortly, but it's unclear how long that will take to trickle down into Ubuntu repositories.
You can check out the SVN maintenance branch from here (which has this bugfix):
svn co https://matplotlib.svn.sf.net/svnroot/matplotlib/branches/v0_91_maint matplotlib-0.91.x
Let us know how that works for you.
Cheers,
Mike

Mike,
That fixes things for me - many thanks. Unrelated, but to build from SVN I had to go diving in setupext.py to say that the tk include files are in:
/usr/include/tcl8.4
... while the tcl install home is /usr/share/tcltk. The command "locate tk.h" was particularly useful.
Many thanks again,
Jon
