When emerging matplotlib-0.80-r1, I get the following error, regardless of  
whether I have set or unset the gtk USE flag:

The result of some more debugging: the install script fails because 
'import gtk' gives the following error: 
 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 33, 
in ? 
    import gobject as _gobject 
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject.so: undefined 
symbol: PyGILState_Ensure 
 
This probably is because I recompiled python without thread support, so I'm 
not sure if this is supported.

Can you please test de ~x86 versions of the package (matplotlib-0.82) ?

Well, since I got no reply since, I'm closing this one.
