This looks like a fun one... ;) Here's what I think might be happening. Emphasis on _might_. Kiva's agg statically links to freetype2 (specifically, v 2.3.12). During initialization, it calls...

@bunrpanck I think what you are seeing is related to #97

@burnpanck That's definitely the freetype problem.

This is technically still unresolved, but #553 is a more specific description (AFAICT). Although I'm pretty sure the interest in Ubuntu 12 is considerable less than when this issue was...

I'm pretty averse to creating new dependencies on the Agg backend. We should consider a different way.

I think I might know how to fix this in `celiagg`, but not necessarily in `kiva.agg`. [This article](https://www.haiku-os.org/documents/dev/painter_and_how_agg_works/) is a very lucid explanation of how the rasterization pipeline of AGG...

OK. I've fixed this in `celiagg`. It wasn't too hard. `kiva.agg` is a different story entirely. For context: https://github.com/enthought/enable/blob/8bc13b1709a7c32b7961ee11b3e2e903af9f70ee/kiva/agg/src/kiva_compiled_path.h#L29-L42 Basically what's going on in `kiva.agg` is that the `path` of...

`kiva.agg` implemented transformations incorrectly and it's basically stuck now.

Looks like the Wx environment needs `attrdict` installed before installing Wx

Is there no stack trace? Most of the code you're referencing here is nowhere near `kiva`.
