update to: I can not get matplotlib to work on a windows xp professional machine

I have installed the following versions of packages

matplotlib 0.87.1
numpy 0.9.5
scipy 0.4.6
GTK- Runtime-Environment-2.2.4-3
pygtk-2.8.4-1 and python does not exit but I had to go get libglib-2.0-0.dll,iconv.dll and intl.dll when I try to use GTKAgg backend. It still gets an error stating the procedure entry point g_assert_warning could not be located in the dynamic link library libglib-2.0-0.dll.
So I seem to be getting further but... does anybody know why python could not find the above dll's and how to they get installed? It would seem I need another package??
Regards
Gary

Hello,
I have installed python 2.4.2 with numpy and scipy installed and when I try to import pylab, I get:
python.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Has any one seen this issue? I just started using python so am not sure what to do. I installed pygtk and freetype and set the matplotlibrc file to:

#### CONFIGURATION BEGINS HERE
# the default backend; one of GTK GTKAgg GTKCairo FltkAgg QtAgg TkAgg
# Agg Cairo GD GDK Paint PS SVG Template
backend : GTKAgg
numerix : numpy # numpy, Numeric or numarray

I really would like to use matplotlib but need help solving this problem if any one can help it sure would be great!

Regards

Hey Gary,

I haven't used matplotlib in windows for awhile, but when I did, I had
good success with the TkAgg and WXAgg backends. I don't remember if
the TkAgg had other things I needed to install, but I think if you
have wxPython already installed, then WXAgg works well out-of-the-box
(but my memory could be flaky or things could have changed).
