Hi Eric,
Thanks for the tip -- I didn't realise that. I had been able to import
tkinter, but perhaps only some parts of tkinter exhibit the problem. I
worked around the issue by installing matplotlib via rpm since it is only a
little behind the curve. It may be that the issue was due to tkagg.so being
the 'last' object searched, but actually the real problem was more likely to
be the lack of some xlib library not being found. In any case, I am happy
enough with where I am now :)
Thanks for your response,
-Tennessee
