Actually I think this is fixed in CVS, isn't it?
All the best,

First of all, thanks for your help.
I made several mistakes, which I fixed: I installed matplotlib as root =20=
and from xterm. The installation process worked out fine,the output of
 >python setup.py build
was
TKAgg requires TkInter
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
which is ok, I think. At least it doesn't say "require pygtkg" anymore. =20=
The
 >sudo python setup.py install
ran without mistakes.
BUT: When I start python, and I want to import matplotlib.matlab, this =20=
happens:
Python 2.3.4 (#2, Nov 14 2004, 18:39:27)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import matplotlib.matlab
Could not load matplotlib icon: Couldn't recognize the image file =20
format for file =20

packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtkagg.py", line 16, in ?
 from _gtkagg import agg_to_gtk_drawable
ImportError: No module named _gtkagg
I thought, everything ist ok, when the installation is completed =20
successfully - obviously I am wrong. But what now? I am lost...
Thanks for your help

This is an annoying build issue that hopefully we'll resolve before
too long. I assume you are building from the Terminal shell is OSX.
You'll need build and run matplotlib from the X terminal

Hope this helps,

Hello,
it's me again, I found my mistake, I specified the wrong path when 
installing pygtk. But now, I have a problem installing matplotlib. When 
I type
python setup.py build
it terminates with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "setup.py", line 125, in ?
 try: import gtk
 File 
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3//lib/python2.3/site- 
packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 37, in ?
 from _gtk import *
RuntimeError: could not open display
What is going wrong? I have no idea...
Thanks
