+ASAP currently only uses the tk backend. It is recommends that you only compile in support for tk (unless you know what you are doing and want the other backends). Edit setup.py and set the following variables
+
+{{{
+  BUILD_AGG          = 1
+  BUILD_GTKAGG       = 0
+  BUILD_GTK          = 0
+
+  BUILD_WXAGG        = 0
+}}}
+
+Then all you have to do is
+
+{{{
   python setup.py build
+  sudo python setup.py install
+}}}
 
+Note that if you do not have sudo configured you instead would 
+
+{{{
+  su 
   python setup.py install
