I'm not sure why the matplotlib examples page would contain weird
dependencies like that, rather than just having simpler examples.
As for 'pip', it is a replacement for 'easy_install', both of which
find and install python packages. pip is meant to improve on
easy_install, with new features and more stability.
And I think you figured out my exact problem:

Yep, unfortunately in ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc
this line was set to
backend : GTKAgg
So I fixed that. The other solution I found is to have at the top of
the plotting script the matplotlib.use() statement so that it uses
something else for a backend:
import matplotlib # Do this before importing pylab or pyplot
#matplotlib.use('Agg') # Anti-Grain Geometry (raster images)
matplotlib.use('PDF')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Thanks!
Mike
