I am getting this on several amd64 hosts. running build_ext building 'matplotlib.ft2font' extension creating build-2.7/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7 creating build-2.7/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/src x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -pthread -O2 -ggdb -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mssse3 -march=native -mtune=native -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC -DPY_ARRAY_UNIQUE_SYMBOL=MPL_ARRAY_API -DPYCXX_ISO_CPP_LIB=1 -I/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include -I. -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c src/ft2font.cpp -o build-2.7/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/src/ft2font.o In file included from src/ft2font.cpp:3: src/ft2font.h:6:30: error: CXX/Extensions.hxx: No such file or directory src/ft2font.h:7:27: error: CXX/Objects.hxx: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/ndarraytypes.h:7, from /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/ndarrayobject.h:17, from /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/arrayobject.h:14, from src/ft2font.cpp:7: /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_common.h:85:2: error: #error Must use Python with unicode enabled.

In the end I got rid of this. I think it was the freetype re-install.
