This is really a question for matplotlib-users, but, there is no
reason this shouldn't work.  Some of my colleagues have run out of my
directory before.

  * what backend are they using?

  * what test script are they trying (I suggest
examples/pylab_examples/simple_plot.py

  * what is the output of --verbose-debug when the other users run this script?

  * does it help to try different backends, eg if they run the script
with -dTKAgg, -dWXAgg, -dQt4Agg or -dGTKAgg

  * what are the permissions on your install directory -- can the
other uses see all the files?

  * what version of matplotlib are you using?  What platform (you say
linux, but when reporting problems it helps to include as much detail
as possible).  Are the users running from the console or an X11
session?
