Thread: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib RPM on SUSE 10.2?

Hi all

Can anyone tell me whether or not it is straightforward to run
matplotlib on OpenSUSE 10.2?

My project has a dependency on matplotlib and I have a user on that
platform who tells me that it's not available as an RPM in the SUSE
repository. Can that really be true?

Cheers
JP

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.

there is a quite recent RPM (and also of numpy, scipy, etc)
