Hi all, I am trying to build Matplotlib 0.87.7 on an RHEL 4.4-derived system, with Python 2.3.4. I am running into a weird problem. When I do "python setup.py build", I get the following error: gcc: src/_gtkagg.cpp In file included from /usr/include/python2.3/Python.h:8, from /usr/include/pygtk-2.0/pygobject.h:5, from src/_gtkagg.cpp:11: /usr/include/python2.3/pyconfig.h:850:1: warning: "_POSIX_C_SOURCE" redefined In file included from /usr/include/string.h:26, from /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../../include/c++/3.4.6/cstring:51, from src/_gtkagg.cpp:2: /usr/include/features.h:150:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition In file included from src/_gtkagg.cpp:11: /usr/include/pygtk-2.0/pygobject.h:140: error: expected `,' or `...' before "typename" /usr/include/pygtk-2.0/pygobject.h:147: error: expected `,' or `...' before "typename" In file included from /usr/include/python2.3/Python.h:8, from /usr/include/pygtk-2.0/pygobject.h:5, from src/_gtkagg.cpp:11: /usr/include/python2.3/pyconfig.h:850:1: warning: "_POSIX_C_SOURCE" redefined In file included from /usr/include/string.h:26, from /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../../include/c++/3.4.6/cstring:51, from src/_gtkagg.cpp:2: /usr/include/features.h:150:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition In file included from src/_gtkagg.cpp:11: /usr/include/pygtk-2.0/pygobject.h:140: error: expected `,' or `...' before "typename" /usr/include/pygtk-2.0/pygobject.h:147: error: expected `,' or `...' before "typename" So I did a google search, and found someone recommending that "#include <Python.h>" be prepended to the offending file. I have prepended it to src/_gtkagg.cpp, did a clean, and run the build again. The error changed, and the "_POSIX_C_SOURCE" problem went away, but the build is still failing, at that same file: gcc: src/_gtkagg.cpp In file included from src/_gtkagg.cpp:11: /usr/include/pygtk-2.0/pygobject.h:140: error: expected `,' or `...' before "typename" /usr/include/pygtk-2.0/pygobject.h:147: error: expected `,' or `...' before "typename" In file included from src/_gtkagg.cpp:11: /usr/include/pygtk-2.0/pygobject.h:140: error: expected `,' or `...' before "typename" /usr/include/pygtk-2.0/pygobject.h:147: error: expected `,' or `...' before "typename" Does anyone have an idea of what is going wrong here? I could really use some help, as I am totally stumped. Many thanks in advance.

I don't know why it is happening or what the best solution is, though. It looks like the pygobject.h that I have has "typename_", not "typename", so I am thinking maybe this is a pygtk bug, since fixed, in which "typename" is in conflict with something. You might try editing your copy of pygobject.h, adding the trailing underscore to "typename" on both lines where it occurs. It can't hurt; these are just dummy variable names. Eric

C++, typename is a reserved word there. You might try editing your copy of > pygobject.h, adding the trailing underscore to "typename" on both lines > where it occurs. It can't hurt; these are just dummy variable names. That is the solution, and you say the same that was adopted by the project to solve the problem. > Eric --=20 Jos=E9 Ab=EDlio
