Matplotlib doesn't know about blas directly, as far as I know, so my 
guess is that the error is actually coming from an attempt to import numpy.

Can you import and run numpy on the system in question?

Based on your link below, I suspect it is indeed a KVM problem; the 
error message suggests that GotoBLAS is trying to configure itself based 
on the architecture it is running on.  Maybe the KVM VM is not 
identifying itself in a way that GotoBLAS recognizes.
