Hi,
we're running Matplotlib 1.0.0 with Python 2.6.2 on CentOS 5.6. When importing from matplotlib._path, users get an error message
"undefined symbol: _ZSt16__ostream_insertIcSt11char_traitsIcEERSt13basic_ostreamIT_T0_ES6_PKS3_l"
I'm at a loss. There were no errors during the installation
Generating the error:
$ python-2.6
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 5 2010, 14:21:11)

>>> from matplotlib._path import affine_transform
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /g/software/linux/pack/python-2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/_path.so: undefined symbol: _ZSt16__ostream_insertIcSt11char_traitsIcEERSt13basic_ostreamIT_T0_ES6_PKS3_l
>>> exit()

Anyone has seen this before and/or knows a fix? There are some reports about such an error on the web, but they are all quite old and I cannot relate them to the current issue.
Thanks in advance
frank
