Hi
I recently posted something about segfaults I get when plotting. Now here is a little update and I really hope someone has an idea how I can solve this problem.
I'm running IPython 0.6.13 on a Debian box, installed the recent mpl 0.83.2 from source, GTKAgg backend.
1)
When I start ipython (as normal user) with the -pylab option and then say
plot([1,2,3])
I get
In [1]: plot([1,2,3])
···
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
exceptions.SystemError Traceback (most recent call last)
SystemError: ../Objects/moduleobject.c:48: bad argument to internal function
2)
However when I change to root
su
<pwd>
ipython -pylab
then plotting works fine!?
I have no idea where this moduleobject.c lives or to which application it belongs.
2)
If I try the same with the normal python interpreter
python
from pylab import *; ion()
plot([1,2,3])
a plot window pops up but shows no picture (no matter if I'm root or not).
I'll appreciate any hints. Thanx!!
cheers,
steve
