Re: [Matplotlib-users] Fwd: Matplotlib backend issue

Hi Tommy,

Look inside the pyplot.py module. I don't have the code in front of me now, but I guess it's a module that loads a bunch of other modules, and one of those wants to use X11. This should not depend on whether the developers‘ tools are present.

I have installed XCode, but I notice that there is no longer a /Developer directory at the root level (all developer code resources are not part of XCode application). Could this be causing matplotlib to not find the MacOSX environment? Or am I missing a path or keyword in my bash environment perhaps?
