There are RPMs for SUSE here:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/science/openSUSE_10.2/
though last time I tried to use them they just didn't work (maybe they
do now?). However, having MPL running on SUSE is actually pretty easy.
This is what I've done:
1. From the link mentioned above, install python-numpy and python-scipy
RPMs (and their dependencies).
2. Check on MPL's web-site for the list of RPMs you need before
compiling MPL from source. The list is a not short, but you will find
all the needed RPMs on SUSE's repositories.
3. Download MPL. E.g. to download latest svn version:
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk matplotlib
4. cd to the downloaded directory, then cd to folder matplotlib in it.
5. As super-user, type:
# python setup.py install
And that's all. That should do.
