Hi, thank you for the suggestions here.
There is a directory in sage with .pc files. It is
local/lib/pkgconfig, which includes the file
./local/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc, which has in it
drkir...@redstart:~/32/sage-4.4.3$ cat ./local/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc
prefix=/export/home/drkirkby/32/sage-4.4.3/local
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: FreeType 2
Description: A free, high-quality, and portable font engine.
Version: 9.16.3
Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfreetype -lz
Cflags: -I${includedir}/freetype2 -I${includedir}
It would seem from the information you provided that Sage should be
setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to $SAGE_LOCAL/lib/pkgconfig, which it is
*not* doing. I could obviously set that on my machine, but that is
hardly the point. Others could get this problem too. This looks like
something that should be set globally for all Sage users.
On the machine I find
drkir...@redstart:~$ /usr/bin/pkg-config --modversion --cflags --libs freetype2
9.7.3
-I/usr/sfw/include/freetype2 -R/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -lfreetype
so that explains I think why matplotlib is finding freetpe2 version
9.7.3 and not the version in Sage.
It seems rather odd, but the version of freetype2 on my machine in
/usr/sfw is 9.7.3, whereas Sage includes version 2.3.5 and the
current version is 2.3.15. How I can have a larger version number than
the latest from the freetype web site on a 5-year old distribution of
Solaris is rather odd, but that seems to be the case
drkir...@redstart:~$ cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc
prefix=/usr/sfw
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: FreeType 2
Description: A free, high-quality, and portable font engine.
Version: 9.7.3
Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -R${libdir} -lfreetype
Cflags: -I${includedir}/freetype2
Perhaps that file has an error in it, or perhaps freetype2 at one
point decided to change their version numbering in a rather odd way,
going backwards!
I've tried the following - none of which avoid matplotlib finding the
version of freetype on my system and not the one in Sage.
1) $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/export/home/drkirkby/32/sage-4.4.3/local/pkgconfig
2) Edit setupext.py and set
basedir = {
...
'sunos5' : [sage_lib],
...
}
3) Create a new variable
sage_local = os.environ['SAGE_LOCAL']
then edit setupext.p to say
basedir = {
...
'sunos5' : [sage_local],
...
}
Any other ideas?
