Re: [matplotlib-devel] Build without using the bundled agg24 library

I agree with Darren.  In my previous response, I was assuming Agg-2.4 would be the requirement in Debian.

If you are planning to link to a different version, licensing may be an issue (I can't really comment on that as IANAL), but there's a high likelihood of compatibility issues.  The upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4 was reasonably painful and it's impossible (without large #ifdef's of course) to code across both simultaneously.

Cheers,
Mike
