It looks like the actual problem is a bug in Sage (which has been fixed in the beta releases of Sage 6.3). Namely, when Sage runs, it is supposed to use ~/.sage/matplotlib-1.3.1 rather than ~/.matplotlib for matplotlib configuration (just for your sort of situation), but this doesn't work right in Sage 6.2. This is fixed at http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/16305, in case you want to make the change to your copy of Sage 6.2. -- John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
