Hello!

do a
$: sudo apt-get --purge remove matplotlib ipython
to really remove the configuration files. then
$: sudo apt-get install matplotlib ipython
check if pylab is on your system:
$: locate pylab
Here are the contents of pylab:
from matplotlib.pylab import *
so you may just test this in a python shell:
$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct 5 2007, 13:36:32)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from matplotlib.pylab import *
>>>
then do the same from within ipython as I'd shown in my previous mail.
I hope that this helps you to narrow it down.
I have also some troubles with ipython that is currently in Gutsy:
ipython
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct 5 2007, 13:36:32)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

maybe some of the IPython power users can give me a hint why this
happes. [1]
I have already filed a bug report to Ubuntu but are not able to explain
more:
