P.S. you can check the DT_NEEDED tags by running: readelf -d /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/_path.so > Does it help if you tell the dynamic linker to preload libstdc++.so? > > LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++.so python2.6 matplotlib-ex1.py The matplotlib I use is built with: python setupegg.py build_ext \ --rpath=/opt/gcc-4.4.3/lib64 python setupegg.py build python setupegg.py install --user The --rpath option ensures the right libstdc++.so is found at runtime (we have several installed). That build works here, and is linked to libstdc++.so. Unfortunately it builds matplotlib as a python egg, which is a very annoying package format. I'd rather not install it via egg, but have no experience doing so and can't suggest why your build was not linked to libstdc++.
