Paul,
Yes, the reason was 0.99.1.2 was on the SlackBuilds.org site, so I didn't
check to see if it was the current version.

I just did: 1.1.0 is now installed, but I still have the same problem
trying to run my model.

I modified the matplotlib.SlackBuild script to remove the old patch and
the non-existant file names INTERACTIVE and KNOWN_BUGS. It built and
upgraded just fine.
Ben's been helping by asking for information that might assist in
isolating the source of the problem. Since I am now using version 1.1.0 I'll
resend the error report.
There are multiple lines reading:

I will certainly add diagnostic code requested by you, Ben, and anyone
else and report the results when trying to run the model. I do need to fix
this and have no idea what's behind the problem.
Thanks,
Rich
