I don't think there is anything we can do on our end about this one. Can you upgrade your compiler? JDH

Ok, so I have upgraded gcc to 3.4.4 and built Numeric and Matplotlib with it. Both install fine. However, when I try to import the pylab interface, I get the following traceback: >>> import pylab Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pylab.py", line 1, in ? from matplotlib.pylab import * File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py", line 198, in ? from axes import Axes, PolarAxes File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/axes.py", line 14, in ? from axis import XAxis, YAxis File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/axis.py", line 25, in ? from font_manager import FontProperties File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py", line 39, in ? from matplotlib import ft2font ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so: undefined symbol: FT_Get_PS_Font_Info To me it sounds like there is an issue with the Freetype library. Any idea what I can do about that? Appreciate your help.

Attached is the output from the build process; it contains a few warnings. Maybe these are related to my issue? -- GMX DSL = Maximale Leistung zum minimalen Preis! 2000 MB nur 2,99, Flatrate ab 4,99 Euro/Monat: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl
