python crash

J

John Reid

Python crashes in glibc with the following stack trace. I'm using an
interface to R (rpy2), ipython, matplotlib, numpy, and scipy with a wx
backend. I'm not sure if the stack trace shows which is the culprit.
I've probably misconfigured one of their installs but knowing which one
to recompile is a bit of a problem. They all took some time to install
so I don't really want to start from scratch again and there's no
knowing if that would fix it anyhow.

I'm on 64 bit Ubuntu:
Linux john-dell 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 20:53:41 UTC 2009
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Python 2.5.2
Numpy: 1.2.1
Scipy: 0.7.0rc2
IPython: 0.9.1
matplotlib: 0.98.5.2
wx: 2.8.8.0 (gtk2-unicode)

I suspect it is something to do with matplotlib as I think it happens
when I'm plotting stuff but its not completely reproducible.

Also, I'm using the Ubuntu python package but I've built numpy, scipy
and matplotlib myself. I didn't think this would be a problem though.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
John.
