[julia-users] PyPlot problems, no GUI backend for matplotlib

2014-08-24 Thread Stelios Georgiou
Hello, 

I can't get PyPlot to work in julia or IJulia notebook, this is the error I 
get. When I test matplotlib also I get no visuals. I can save images and 
view them after but cannot see live figures. Do you have any ideas? 

( I use homebrew python, with packages installed with pip ) 
( Julia is installed from standalone .dmg installer )  
( Using OS X 10.9 )

*julia> *
*using PyPlot*
*WARNING: No working GUI backend found for matplotlib.*

*INFO: Loading help data...*
ipython (2.2.0)

matplotlib (1.3.1)

Ok I fixed it, I didn't have qt installed, so I installed pyqt, did 
Pkg.build("PyPlot"). That worked
