Hi all, I have been having problems with Matplotlib on Ubuntu 8.04 (AMD-64). Specifically, I am having trouble with the backends. If I build Matplotlib separately I get the following for information about backends.
OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES libpng: 1.2.15beta5 Tkinter: no * Tkinter present, but header files are not found. * You may need to install development packages. wxPython: 2.6.3.2 Gtk+: gtk+: 2.12.9, glib: 2.16.3, pygtk: 2.12.1, pygobject: 2.14.1 Qt: no Qt4: no Cairo: 1.4.0 In fact, I do have Tcl/Tk headers but they are not found. This is a known issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02799.html However, when I look into the install.log file of Sage I find: OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES libpng: 1.2.15beta5 Tkinter: no * Tkinter present, but header files are not found. * You may need to install development packages. wxPython: no * wxPython not found Gtk+: no * Building for Gtk+ requires pygtk; you must be able * to "import gtk" in your build/install environment Qt: no Qt4: no Cairo: no It can not find anything and so does not build any and so various tests fail. I also tried using sage -python to build Matplotlib with the same result (no backends found). I was hoping to use another backend until a fix for the tcl/tk problem is found. Any ideas would be welcome.
