You probably have a few choices:

  * revert to a standard tk package to use the standard scisoft
compiled against it,

  * use a different backend for matplotlib -- eg download wxpython for
os x and then use the wxagg backend in matplotlib by setting the
backend variable in your rc file:

  * compile matplotlib yourself on your platform against your new tk, see

Hope this helps,
