I believe that's actually because matplotlib does some things that
require an X server in its installation script, and not a bug in
easy_install itself...
You could e.g. spawn Xvfb locally for the duration of the installation
to work around this, but ideally you'd figure out why it thought it
needed X.

No, the problem is a missing shebang, causing the python script to be
interpreted as a shell script. A proper `easy_install` begins with:
#!/usr/bin/python
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: [...]
__requires__ = 'distribute==0.6.10'
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
The bit about an X server comes from `import`, which is a screen
capture tool from ImageMagick.
