Here is the starter list which I made from a redhat distro a couple of years ago -- much of this is probably still accurate but should be updated by distro and wiki-ized * matplotlib core: zlib, zlib-devel, libpng, libpng-devel, freetype, freetype-devel, freetype-utils * gtk/gtkagg backend: gtk2-devel, gtk+-devel, pygtk2, glib-devel, pygtk2-devel, gnome-libs-devel, pygtk2-libglade * tk backend: tcl, tk, tkinter * wx/wxagg backends - the wxpython rpms from wxpython For example, I think the tcl/tk need to have some devel libs added.
