[Matplotlib-users] show() does not pop up a window

[Michael R. <raw...@ya...>]

I've just installed numpy 1.6 and matplotlib 1.0.0 from source code on two linux machines, both running linux Ubuntu OS with python installed from Synaptic Package Manager. I've noticed no anomalies one machine. On the second machine, graphic window does not pop up. I'm run python non-interactively. For example:

> python demo_axes_grid.py

returns to command prompt without error on misbehaving machine. That same standard program works fine on the other machine. Interestingly, everything was working fine yesterday under version 0.99.
