Alexis & Eric
Thanks for your advices. I've been trying, but I still have some problems. I tried matplotlib.matplotlib_fname() and I found my silly mistake. Python answered '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc' My RC file was named ".matplotlibrc". When the prefixed dot removed, it works perfectly. And I found to change the backends by using matplotlib.use() command. I tried all of them, but nothing worked (with errors). When using matplotlib.get_backend() on pre-installed python2.6, it said 'GTKAgg' and matplotlib.pyplot.show() exactly worked. So I tried to install PyGTK from source code, but it's fairly complicated. Is there an easy way to install backends for additionally installed Python? My python is v2.7.2.
