starting up

Hello,
The best wishes for the new year to all of you!
I am completely new to this part of the game. I have worked with Python and
Matlab and the matplotlib appears to be an excellent tool for my demands, but
I cannot get the thing working. I have spend two days to try to find my own
way out of it, but that didn't work, so I will ask your help.
I have a SuSE Linux 9.2 i386 installation. I have changed the prefix and
exec-prefix in setupext.py to read '/usr' and start the build routine to get:

There are two lines in Dutch, meaning 'unknown file or directory' some 20
lines from the bottom, for pygobject.h and pygtk/pygtk.h, both in gtkagg.cpp.

Could someone please give me a hand?

Regards,

Maarten de Vries

Hi Maarten

Try

python setup.py build_ext --include-dir=<directory where you will find
pygobject.h>:<directory where you will find pygtk>

If this works finish the build with python setup.py build.

hope this helps,

Cheers,
Cory.

src/_gtkagg.cpp:63: error: `init_pygtk' undeclared (first use this function)
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

There are two lines in Dutch, meaning 'unknown file or directory' some 20
lines from the bottom, for pygobject.h and pygtk/pygtk.h, both in gtkagg.cpp.

Could someone please give me a hand?

Hello,
The best wishes for the new year to all of you!
I am completely new to this part of the game. I have worked with Python and Matlab and the matplotlib appears to be an excellent tool for my demands, but I cannot get the thing working. I have spend two days to try to find my own way out of it, but that didn't work, so I will ask your help.
I have a SuSE Linux 9.2 i386 installation. I have changed the prefix and exec-prefix in setupext.py to read '/usr' and start the build routine to get:
maarten@...460...:~/Documents/Downloads/matplotlib-0.70.1> python setup.py build
sh: pkg-config: command not found

<snipped further output>

I'd install pkg-config before going any further. I believe it will find dependencies automatically without relying on you to enter them. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to install it on SuSE.

Your later errors indicate problems finding the GTK header files, which I think pkg-config will help with. (At least once you install them, too!)

Cheers!
Andrew
