OK, I spoke a little too soon last time. I reinstalled it tonight and looked a little closer. Essentially all of the regular files under .../site-packages/matplotlib/... and its subdirectories have permissions similar to -rw--w---- not just the mpl-data subdir, and I guess they should be something like -rw-r--r--
Also, I looked into why I couldn't chmod; apparently our "labadmin" account wasn't given permission to chmod or chown anybody else's files, so I need to talk to our IT guy about that. peter Ben wrote: >This might actually be the closest explanation and diagnosis that I have seen >on this issue.
