An error message of the type I like: precise: Install a "Fortran compiler" and try again. > ... > and matplotlib produced a beautifully formatted report that started with: > __________________ > Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: > IMPORTANT WARNING: This is a warning only (even though it is marked as important). > pkg-config is not installed. > matplotlib may not be able to find some of its dependencies And the warning message is precise again: install "pkg-config" to get rid of it. I do not know "pkg-config". The name seems to indicate an operating system package; but, it might also be a Python extension package (less likely). I would start with the "matplotlib" installation instructions to look for information about it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
