I think we have seen this issue before and it seems to be caused by an out
of date version of setuptools. I tried reproducing it on fresh ubuntu 14.04
machine but was not able to reproduce the issue. Do you know which version
of setuptools you are using?

Actually, look at the traceback... it is using distutils' version.py.
That's weird. Is that a result of setuptools monkey-patching?

Any hints on how to get along?

Independent of what exactly is going wrong, the issue is that it _isn't_
finding the right version of freetype and iirc LooseVersion is handling the
'not found' return code badly. This is coming up often enough we probably
do need to special case this check with a try/except.

Post by Benjamin Root
Actually, look at the traceback... it is using distutils' version.py.
That's weird. Is that a result of setuptools monkey-patching?

Post by Jens Nielsen
I think we have seen this issue before and it seems to be caused by an
out of date version of setuptools. I tried reproducing it on fresh ubuntu
14.04 machine but was not able to reproduce the issue. Do you know which
version of setuptools you are using?

Hi,
as you can see: 14.3.1 which is the latest, because before I started upgrading, I read about possible issues here and upgraded the setuptools as conclusion.
Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:11)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import setuptools
print(setuptools.__version__)

14.3.1

exit()Â cheers,Christian

Looking more closely at this I think it is a bug on our side. When freetype
is not found it returns version as 'Failed to identify version.' which it
tries to compare to a version number. The version number is correctly
converted from string to numbers using loosversion but this string just
makes it through. The workaround at the moment is to install the freetype
dev as Tom said.

Post by Christian Ambros
Hi,
as you can see: 14.3.1 which is the latest, because before I started
upgrading, I read about possible issues here and upgraded the setuptools as
conclusion.
Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:11)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import setuptools
print(setuptools.__version__)

14.3.1

exit()

cheers,
Christian

I think we have seen this issue before and it seems to be caused by an out
of date version of setuptools. I tried reproducing it on fresh ubuntu 14.04
machine but was not able to reproduce the issue. Do you know which version
of setuptools you are using?
Jens
Make sure you have `freetype-dev` installed at the system level.

/tmp/pip-build-sezmzam8/matplotlib
Which leads to the same error!
running python2.7 setup.py egg_info doesn't fail but since I have to use
3.4.x ant pyqt5.4.x there is no way to use something else than matplotlib
1.4.3/1.5dev1 because auf the qt5agg backend.
Any hints on how to get along?

There were multiple PRs that toched the freetype handling (iirc from Jens
and Tony Yu), but I don't remember if either got mreged off the top of my
head.

Post by Benjamin Root
Didn't we fix that in trunk recently?

I think we have seen this issue before and it seems to be caused by an
out of date version of setuptools. I tried reproducing it on fresh ubuntu
14.04 machine but was not able to reproduce the issue. Do you know which
version of setuptools you are using?

Make sure you have `freetype-dev` installed at the system level.

Yeah, that mirrors what others have stated. The common thread seems to be
that all of these users were comfortable with doing "sudo pip install
<somepkg>" (myself included). I was in a rush when I originally encountered
issues back in the summer on my 12.04 machine, so I just switched to
miniconda and didn't figure out what was wrong on my system.

Hi,

I installed the libfreetype6-dev package and than re-started the upgrade process with sudo pip3 install matplotlib --upgrade, which took a while but finally was successful.It seems to be all right now.

Thanks for the hint with freetype. That helped a lot.
cheers,

I have opened a Pull request (

message and avoid the comparison between a string and version number.

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in
/tmp/pip-build-sezmzam8/matplotlib
Which leads to the same error!
running python2.7 setup.py egg_info doesn't fail but since I have to use
3.4.x ant pyqt5.4.x there is no way to use something else than matplotlib
1.4.3/1.5dev1 because auf the qt5agg backend.
Any hints on how to get along?
