pip install matplotlib is throwing error :

============================================================================
                        * The following required packages can not be built:
                        * freetype, png
                        * Try installing freetype with `apt-get install
                        * libfreetype6-dev` and pkg-config with `apt-get
                        * install pkg-config`
                        * Try installing png with `apt-get install
                        * libpng12-dev` and pkg-config with `apt-get install
                        * pkg-config`

----------------------------------------

and installations of both libfreetype6-dev and libpng12-dev is failing because of "Unable to Locate Package" error

============================================================================

E: Unable to locate package libfreetype6-dev E: Unable to locate package libpng12-dev

I tried all the options mentioned in other posts on stackoverflow.

I also tried installing libfreetype6-dev, libpng12-dev using binary files, but no luck. It threw architecture incompatibility error.

I am using Ubuntu 17.04 , 32 bit OS i386 architecture on VMWare.
