The results show that none of the backends are building and you are only getting the non-interactive backends. For the build log, just >redirect the output to a file, like so:

python setup.py install > build.log

I do the build and then the install in two steps.

python setup.py build > build_output.txt
sudo python setup.py install > install_output.txt

Got some warnings to standard output even with the redirect. The redirected output during build is attached.

python setup.py build > build_output.txt

Michael,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Your email got a little buried in my inbox. From your build log, most of the dependencies for the backends are not available. Surprisingly, not even Tkinter. Could you take a look at this page and see if automatically installing dependencies help you out? (Note, if you built numpy from source, and other packages from source, then you will have to manually determine which dependencies you are missing and install).

Cheers!
