Sir/Madam

I am trying to run matplotlib on an SL6 machine

I installed ok with

yum install numpy python-matplotlib ipython sympy python-nose

However

When running matplotlib, I receive errors

/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py:621: 
DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip
   self.tooltips = gtk.Tooltips()

I found

http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/v-0-99-1-1-DeprecationWarning-Use-the-new-widget-gtk-Tooltip-self-tooltips-gtk-Tooltips-td41393.html

run

yum-builddep python-matplotlib

with no problems

When I try to run

yum install matplotlib

I get
No package matplotlib available.

So I must be looking in the wrong places for matplotlib

A



yum list | grep numpy

numpy.x86_64  1.4.1-9.el6  @anaconda-ScientificLinux-201208021738.x86_64
numpy-f2py.x86_64  1.4.1-9.el6    sl


yum list | grep matplotlib

python-matplotlib.x86_64       0.99.1.2-1.el6       @sl
python-matplotlib-tk.x86_64    0.99.1.2-1.el6       sl


So it would appear I am short of Numpy version 1.5,

Any help to resolve this would be much appreciated


Thanking you.

Yours sincerely
