Hi, During the installation of the matplotlib package, I was told that the matplotlib is trying to replace the tk.tcl file which belongs to the tk package Can anyone told me if this is a bug or feature Because of this conflict, I cannot install the package on my ubuntu Thanks Xuedong
Sorry for my stupid question: What I am trying to run is the following command: sudo checkinstall python setup.py install I guess this maybe the problem between checkinstall and matplotlib Xuedong Xuedong Zhang 写道: > Hi, > During the installation of the matplotlib package, > I was told that the matplotlib is trying to replace the tk.tcl file > which belongs to the tk package > > Can anyone told me if this is a bug or feature > > Because of this conflict, I cannot install the package on my ubuntu > > Thanks > Xuedong > >

Also, the version of matplotlib in ubuntu is pretty old, so I advise installing the latest release from source instead. See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/.

Maybe the solution is to not use checkinstall?

I suggest you install to /usr/local. That way you will get rid of this conflict. You should be able to do it this way: sudo checkinstall python setup.py install --prefix /usr/local Hope this helps, Gaël

I wonder if you are running into this problem because you already have matplotlib installed as a Debian package. I'm mostly just curious as to the underlying cause... Cheers, Mike
I use the command as follows: sudo checkinstall python setup.py install --prefix /usr/local But the problem is the same. It seems during the python install, python access the tk module, but the checkinstall seems think it is modified so should be included in the package?
