Thanks. This has helped me isolate the problem to be some interplay
between the Agg backend and usetex being true.
With usetex turned on,
$ python examples/pylab_examples/simple_plot.py --verbose-debug > run_agg.out
fails to produce a plot. When usetex is turned off, the plot is produced.
With usetex turned on,
$ python examples/pylab_examples/simple_plot.py -dWXAgg
--verbose-debug > run_wxagg.out
correctly produces a plot. When usetex is turned off, the plot is
also produced.
Before updating, I never explicitly declared a backend (so I assume it
was using Agg), and I was always able to plot with usetex turned on.
I've attached my build.out and run.out (for both of the above cases
with usetex turned out). How can I further troubleshoot this? I have
a workaround now, but I'd like to understand what the problem is.
