matplotlib and numpy installation

Hi,

I wanted to install python, numpy and matplotlib on Linux Ubuntu.
I installed python with the following commands
../configure --enable-unicode=ucs4
make
make install
and then I installed numpy running
python setup.py install
Finally I came to matplotlib, that for the installation requires the
commands
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
but when I run the first (python setup.py build) I got the following
output that I copied partially below. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone
help?
I had previously another version of python located in usr/bin while the
current is in usr/local/bin. I guess I could remove the previous by the
deleting the relative folder and now if I run the command 'which
python' it actually says 'usr/local/bin/python' so I hope I done it
correctly. If not, how can I uninstall any previous version of python?
Do you think that somehow the error I get is caused by an unclean
removal of that previous version?

Thanks and regards
Francesco

This is the source of the remaining errors....

On my system the "png.h" file comes from a libpng3-devel rpm

Perhaps you need to use apt-get to obtain the development package for png.

Hi, When I use matplotlib for a scatter plot with both dots and connecting lines, the exported eps file is huge, if the distances between many points are small.

Ghostscript takes forever, too. Is there anything that I can do in order to export reasonable...
