Matplotlib - python does not find pylab

[Pau]

thanks, Nick

I have fixed the problem.

I was also thinking that it could be due to this locale thing but,
since I started ksh with the default kshrc, I assumed that it'd be
export LANG=C per default, but it isn't?? I should not assume
anything...

Look at this:

hux(p2)| ksh
$ export LANG=C
$ date   -----------------------------------> This is to check that
the LANG is C
Tue Mar  3 19:36:02 CET 2009 --> it is
$ ./Pfewbody.py

Guess ... it's working now

When I export LANG=C in zsh, it's working too

I am a bit puzzled. I could swear I had tried this too...

Anyway...

Thanks again.

Pau
