I am trying to run scipy in XP on VMWare Workstation. The host OS is Ubuntu. When I attempt to start scipy I get the error: ____________________________________________________________________________ C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>C:\Python25\python.exe C:\Python25\scrip ts\ipython -pylab -p scipy Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python25\scripts\ipython", line 27, in <module> IPython.Shell.start().mainloop() File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\IPython\Shell.py", line 1111, in start return shell(user_ns = user_ns) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\IPython\Shell.py", line 1008, in __init__ shell_class=MatplotlibShell) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\IPython\Shell.py", line 74, in __init__ debug=debug,shell_class=shell_class) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\IPython\ipmaker.py", line 95, in make_IPyt hon embedded=embedded,**kw) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\IPython\Shell.py", line 562, in __init__ user_ns,b2 = self._matplotlib_config(name,user_ns) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\IPython\Shell.py", line 463, in _matplotli b_config from matplotlib import backends File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\__init__.py", line 55, in <module> new_figure_manager, draw_if_interactive, show = pylab_setup() File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\__init__.py", line 24, in pylab_setup globals(),locals(),[backend_name]) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_tkagg.py", lin e 8, in <module> import tkagg # Paint image to Tk photo blitter extension File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\tkagg.py", line 1, in <module> import _tkagg ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Has anyone been successful in doing this or have any suggested fixes.
