I'm replying to my first post. Rule 1: do a search first to see if this problem is mentioned here before.
I found a post by T. Davis on Dec 10 with the same problem as I have (see below or my first message). But I do not understand his "solution". He seems to have already have Python 2.6 and Tcl/Tk stuff installed. I thought SAGE was totally self contained? Puzzling. I do have my own Python installed, but it is version 2.4. I checked and the matplotlib, numpy, and scipy imported in SAGE are not my versions and come from the SAGE installation (as I would have thought). Here is T. Davis' post: I tried a clean install of 'matplotlib' within a clean, stand-alone Python 2.6 installation. I did this completely outside 'sage'. I had exactly the same issue with TkAgg. The problem is that my system has Tcl and Tk installed in a non-standard place. The python installation scripts for 'matplotlib' couldn't find them, and looked in a hard- coded location as a last act of desperation. I went into one of the setup python scripts for 'matplotlib' and changed the two lines which had hard-coded locations for Tcl and Tk, respectively. Once I did that, TkAgg built cleanly and my 'matplotlib' build/install went fine. I think the same thing would probably work inside sage if one is willing to do some hand editing.
