hit dead kernel error with xeus-cling

[jerabaul29]

I am trying to use matplotlibcpp with a xeus-cling notebook. My code is available here, though it is a simple adaptation of the gist linked to in the first cell:

https://github.com/jerabaul29/xeus-cling-experimentations/blob/main/example_matplotlibcpp/example_matplotlibcpp.ipynb

I had a number of import issues, as well as some numpy issues, at the beginning, which now seem to be fixed. However, I still have one problem, i.e. when I hit the last cell a windows pops up with a "The kernel has appeared to have died. It will restart automatically" message. I have tried to search for help but cannot find anything that works. Any idea what the problem may be?

Btw, these difficulties made me wonder, would it be possible, instead of installing everything on one's machine by hand, to have a standardised dockerfile with everything needed to run out of the box, for example matplotlib-cpp + xeus-cling notebooks? Do you know if such a dockerfile that would take care of eerything exists / if so could it be part of the repo / if not do you think this would be possible to setup? :)

Hi @jerabaul29, Any updates on this? I was also trying the same. Please help if you are able to do it. Did you explore any alternatives?
