if i try to emerge dev-python/matplotlib dev-python/matplotlib-0.80-r1 +doc +gtk over ssh it fails giving this error: ... >>> Unpacking matplotlib-0.80.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/matplotlib-0.80-r1/work>>> Source unpacked. X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. The application 'setup.py' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application. !!! ERROR: dev-python/matplotlib-0.80-r1 failed. !!! Function distutils_src_compile, Line 35, Exitcode 1 -- X11 forwarding is enabled, i can easily run any X application over ssh. i should be able to emerge matplotlib over ssh. i emerged nearly the whole system over ssh with no complaints. additional information: had ~ # echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0
I suspect this is fixed by the disabling of automagic dependencies in newer versions of matplotlib. Can you try with a ~arch matplotlib and report back if it works?
(In reply to comment #1) just tried reemerging matplotlib-0.80-r1. Now it worked! Tried with and w/o ForwardX11. tried matplotlib-0.87.7, it worked as well. i cannot reproduce the bug from 6 monts anymore. i consider the bug closed.
