I just installed matplotlib-0.99.3.win32-py2.6.exe on this Win2000 PC. When I try: from matplotlib import pyplot as plt it crashes Python with an apparent NULL-pointer reference. If I run python -v then it crashes just after: # c:\python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\transforms.pyc matches c:\python26\li b\site-packages\matplotlib\transforms.py import matplotlib.transforms # precompiled from c:\python26\lib\site-packages\ma tplotlib\transforms.pyc matplotlib-0.99.1.win32-py2.6.exe worked fine on this PC.

Exactly which versions are you using, and how did you install Python (for all users?). What is your CPU? matplotlib-0.99.3.win32-py2.6 was built against numpy 1.4.1, libpng 1.4.2 and zlib 1.2.5, while matplotlib-0.99.1.win32-py2.6 was built against numpy 1.3.0, libpng 1.2.3x, and zlib 1.2.3.

I had numpy 1.3.0 installed before that. Thanks for such a helpful response. I wasn't aware that matplotlib is "built against" a particular version of numpy (not quite sure what that means either, unless numpy provides a direct C API as well as the Python API; please excuse my ignorance). (To answer your questions in case that's still useful somehow... I'm using Windows 2000 SP4, Python 2.6.5, on a Pentium 4 PC. I installed Python for all users.) Thanks and regards, Craig McQueen

I can confirm the crashes with numpy 1.3. John: I rebuilt the 32 bit binaries for Python 2.5 and 2.6 against numpy 1.3.0. They do also work with numpy 1.4.1. Please consider uploading these binaries to the SF site. I also noticced that the eggs on the SF download site are corrupted, showing only 1.6 KB. The updated files are at <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#matplotlib>. Thanks. -- Christoph

The sf upload page is extremely fragile and flaky, so I'm not surprised a corrupted binary got uploaded. I made sure the uploads completed this time -- hopefully they are now good but take a look.
