It seems you have two unrelated errors here. The first is that Hardy changed how Tkinter is packaged so that matplotlib can't find it. We do not have a workaround for this on the 0.91.x maintenance branch. You will need to apply this patch to setupext.py:
+@@ -960,6 +960,9 @@ def add_tk_flags(module): + if not os.path.exists(tk_inc): + tk_inc = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(tk_lib_dir, + '../../include')) ++ if not os.path.exists(tk_inc): ++ tk_inc = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(tk_lib_dir, ++ '../../../include/tcl' + tk_ver)) + + if ((not os.path.exists(os.path.join(tk_inc,'tk.h'))) and + os.path.exists(os.path.join(tcl_inc,'tk.h'))): + We have a better fix on the trunk, but it requires more testing. The second error typically occurs when g++ is not installed. Try "sudo apt-get install g++".
