ImportError: libpng16.so.16

Question

I'm getting the following error message when I try importing matplotlib.pylab in ipython on a node in a computer cluster. I am using Enthought Canopy 1.4.1.

Any idea how I could solve this?

/usr/lusers/marafi/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py in <module>()
     51 import matplotlib
     52 from matplotlib import afm
---> 53 from matplotlib import ft2font
     54 from matplotlib import rcParams, get_cachedir
     55 from matplotlib.cbook import is_string_like


ImportError: libpng16.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Answer 1

Please update matplotlib in the Canopy Package Manager.
