problems with gtk+2-dev and matplotlib+imagemagick install

[Eduardo Lopez]

Hello,

I have been trying to install to different packages that require gtk+2-dev.
The packages are matplotlib-py25 and imagemagick. These are bein installed
on a machine running Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.2 using fink. In trying to
do this, I never get through the installation as I get errors for
gtk+2-dev.

On my first attempt I simply did 'fink install imagemagick'. It bailed out
with the message:

Failed: can't create package gtk+2-dev_2.6.10-1004_darwin-i386.deb

I had gotten a worse problem with matplotlib-py25, because this
installation froze my display 3 times.

Then, I went through the FAQ page:

http://www.finkproject.org/faq/comp-packages.php?phpLang=en#Leopard-libXran
dr

and found a bug for something similar for gtk+2, where it was suggested to
run:

sudo perl -pi.bak -e 's|2.0.0|2.1.0|' /usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.la

I did this and it did not fix the problem. Specifically, what happened was
that when I tried to install both imagemagick or matplotlib-py25, I would
get the following message:

Failed: can't install package gtk+2-dev-2.6.10-1004

Now I am not sure if the 'perl' script above made it worse, or just did
nothing. Also, I am clearly still not able to get the packages I need
installed.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks,

It's impossible to tell from what you posted.  The messages that you've posted
regarding gtk+2 could come from a large number of different causes.  

Try to install gtk+2 again, and post the output starting with the last line
the compiler tries to run before errors occur (assuming that's the failure
mode--impossible to tell at this stabe).

Dear Alex, so the most information I get is what I am copying next. It
only mentions circular dependencies. I am transcribing the entire output I
get after asking to install gtk+2-dev. Here is goes:

fink install gtk+2-dev
Password:
Information about 6991 packages read in 0 seconds.

fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates:

(1) octave-atlas: Matlab-like language for computations
(2) octave: Matlab-like language for computations

Pick one: [1]

fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates:

(1) gnuplot: Command-driven interactive plotting program
(2) gnuplot-nox: Command-driven interactive plotting program

Pick one: [1]
The following package will be installed or updated:
  gtk+2-dev
The following 56 additional packages will be installed:
  doxygen gail18 gail18-dev gail18-shlibs gconf2 gconf2-dev gconf2-shlibs gnome-keyring gnome-keyring-dev gnome-keyring-shlibs

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

That is the end of the output.

OK.  That makes sense.  It's good to see the list of possible candidate
packages that are doing bad things.  You might try installing the
packages (other than gtk+2 and gtk+2-shlibs) in the dependency list
individually to whittle the list down.

Also, we are having some problems with the new version of graphviz, so
that might be a place to start.  Try

sudo apt-get install graphviz=1.16-1013

to install the version of that package from the binary distribution.

Dear Alex,

By first installing graphviz the way you suggested I was able to complete
the installation of gtk+2-dev in a few steps more. I was then able to get
through imagemagick and matplotlib-py25 installations. Thank you

One more snag is that I am not being able to get matplotlib to work within
python. It does not seems to see the package when I try to import it. Am I
missing something? I went through as many webpages as I could, and in all
I found instructions to go to

http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/matplotlib-py25

which gives the error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected'{'in

I am forwarding this to fink-core, with the hope that someone finally
will fix it. This address should forward to the real URL of the package
database
<http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/matplotlib-py25>
instead of giving an error message. I remember having reported this a
long time ago, but wasn't listened to.

Musta missed it last time; it's fixed now, should redirect to the real PDB.
