matplotlib - pip安装matplotlib失败: 'cannot build package freetype; “python setup.py egg_info” failed with error code 1'

Question

我想使用matplotlib.pyplot。我不能因为

altoidnerd@LEPTON:~/ $ pip install matplotlib

在ubuntu 14上失败，给出egg_info错误，并警告“无法构建软件包freetype”

* The following required packages can not be built:

                        * freetype

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-8UvQcW/matplotlib

但
