[matplotlib-devel] SVN ltk error

Hi,

I was following the directions found here:

http://old.nabble.com/ImportError:-No-module-named-mplot3d-td24291309.html

which consists of:
svn co
https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib
matplotlib

python setup.py install

-when I executed that last command I get the following:

wayne@x61:matplotlib$ sudo python setup.py install

I've searched for the ltk8.5 error on google and wasn't able to find
anything that helped. One that looked promising but failed to help:
http://old.nabble.com/Building-matplotlib-0.99.1.1:-cannot-find--ltk8.5-(whereas-0.91.4-works)-td25677275.html#a25677275

I really want the mpl_toolkits.mplot3d library...

Thanks for any help,
Wayne
