tkagg backend problems
matplotlib
Solution
I solved it by compiling `matplotlib` from source. It has Tkagg active by default. Only problem was it didn't compile Tkagg since I didn't have tk-devel installed... after installing it everything went ok.
So I still don't know if `easy_install matplotlib` doesn't use TkAgg by design, or if it too checked and noticed that I didn't have `Tk.h` installed, but anyway this is the way to go.
Problem
I need to use the Tkagg backent to use matplotlib in a Tkinter program, and I received the "ImportError: No module named backend_tkagg" error message. Looking around, I saw as one possible solution that I add to install the agg-dev libs, so I did (Fedora fc13 here): yum install agg agg-devel ... but the problem persisted. I thought that maybe I had to reinstall matplotlib, so I issued a *easy_install -m matplotlib*, but no luck (though the same error message seems to come from a different file now, namely /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/init.py ) any ideas?
