[Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib, Python 3.5.0 and RHEL 5

[Derek Wallace]

Hi,
IT are trying to install matplot lib (1.5.0) for Python 3.5.0.
They have it working on RHEL6 machines and claim it doesn't/cant/wont work on RHEL 5 machines.

I don't have specific information from them why or what made them come to that conclusion.
However when I try running I get the following.

$ /depot/Python-3.5.0/bin/python
Python 3.5.0 (default, Oct 15 2015, 22:50:34)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import matplotlib
>>> print(matplotlib.__version__)
1.5.0
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Traceback (most recent call last):

    import matplotlib.artist as martist

  File "/depot/Python-3.5.0/lib/python3.5/site-packages/matplotlib/transforms.py", line 39, in <module>
    from matplotlib._path import (affine_transform, count_bboxes_overlapping_bbox,
ImportError: /depot/Python-3.5.0/lib/python3.5/site-packages/matplotlib/_path.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: ELF file OS ABI invalid


Can anyone tell me if RHEL 5.x is supported or not?
Can anyone throw any light on the above error message.

Thx
Derek
