This is our core rendering engine -- see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#what-is-a-backend The problem you are experiencing has nothing to do with sphinx or the sphinx extensions, but is in your matplotlib installation. It may be a SUSE bug, or you may be getting conflicting installs from the stuff you are getting from SUSE and the stuff you are easy installing. First thing to do is start nailing down what you are getting and where you are getting it from. Paste these commands into your python shell and report the output import numpy as np print np.__file__ print np.__version__ import matplotlib as mpl print mpl.__file__ print mpl.__version__ A likely culprit is that you have an mpl compiled against one version of numpy and you are dynamically linking against another that is not ABI compliant.
