Hi,

Two issues have come up when installing Fenics through hashdist. They are not 
really Fenics issues and installation is fine, but some of the python packages 
installed seem to lack functionality, which is unfortunate. 

i) The matplotlib installations does not seem to have a working backend (the 
only shared object in site-packages/matplotlib/backends is _backend_agg.so). 

ii) The ipython complains about missing Tkinter when I try to paste from the 
clipboard (In [1]: %paste; ERROR: Getting text from the clipboard on this 
platform requires Tkinter.) 

I’m on Ubuntu 14.04. Anyone with the same issues? Could they be easily fixed? 
If not, can I simply use use_python_host_packages: true to fall back on host 
python? (Trying to figure out how hashdist works here.)

Mikael
