Description
We've ran into some problems getting the matplotlib environment working fine on linux, and I am not sure this is documented anywhere.
We had a massive number of tests failing, as the tests where not running on the correct freetype issue. The fix was easy:
- edit the setup.cfg file and set the test to True, and local_freetype to true.
- Delete the old build - matplotlib caches the results and will not rebuild with the new options despite they changed.
- Rebuild.
Our documentation need to be updated to reflect this issue.
Original issue.
On system python2.7.8, on latest master version, with both the macosx and agg backend, @trpham is having a lot of tests failing on images comparisons:
======================================================================
FAIL: mpl_toolkits.tests.test_axes_grid1.test_inset_locator(0, u'inset_locator', u'png')

Anyone guesses what is going on?
Apart from this, matplotlib seems to be running fine. Any help would be appreciated.
