I’m currently running Matplotlib 0.99.1.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx).

I would like to upgrade Matplotlib to version 1.1.0. I have tried following the
instructions at SourceForge, which didn’t seem to do anything (IPython still thinks I have version 0.99.1.1).

I have tried searching for how to do this another way but, being relatively new to Linux, am a little confused what I need to do now. I have tried a few suggestions on the forums but still I cannot seem to install Matplotlib-1.1.0

This thread for example doesn’t seem to work for me (pip complains of an “Unknown or unsupported command ‘install'”).

Any help is much appreciated!

    Unless my memory fails me completely, I followed the build from source instructions you link to on two Lucid systems of mine. These instructions, to be precise:
    http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html#installing-from-source

    Worked like a charm, after I remembered to do python setup.py install. And, yes,prior to the install, I removed the 0.99 matplotlib via synaptic. Did you try removing the older version first?
