If you do a --prefix=~/usr for all 'configure' and 'python setup.py
install' commands, and set your PATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH,
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH, LIBRARY_PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables
accordingly, and set the MATPLOTLIBDATA environment variable to point
to ~/usr/share/matplotlib, it should work.
When debugging your setup, you might want to run your test
matplotlib/pylab script with
> python myscript.py --verbose-helpful
OR
> python myscript.py --verbose-debug
to get extra information about where matplotlib is looking for things.
