Your distro should have it already as a package (python-matplotlib perhaps? python3-matplotlib perhaps?) and you may want to get it from there. If you don't want to get it from there, you may want to use conda instead of pip/easy_install and so on. http://conda.pydata.org/docs/intro.html If the scientific python stack, and not just matplotlib is in your future, just use conda. It is so much easier. Laura
