backend for matplotlib on NAS Lou

The platform is Suse Linux Enterprise Server 12.
Also, I checked and there are no modules loaded:

module list

No Modulefiles Currently Loaded.

I also checked that I was launching the anaconda version of python/ipython.

?To be more explicit about the error, if I use in my matplotlibrc:
?backend : Qt5Agg
backend.qt4 : PyQt4

Then when I start up ipython with the --pylab argument, I get:
[TerminalIPythonApp] WARNING | Eventloop or matplotlib integration failed.
Is matplotlib installed?

(required by

So I'm guessing that this has to do with the version of glibc installed
rather than the missing gui toolkits as I had previously thought. It could
be that loading some module might fix the problem, though I'm not sure if
that's true or which one I'd need to load.
Any ideas?

Please, tell what is your platform, under which system. Which Python
version.
You seem not believing me that you may have conflicts between various QT
instances. Perhaps...? Verify *all* the occurrences of your libraries
susceptible of being used by the mpl backend variants. Use 'which',
'where', 'locate', etc., all that goes on your system.
First of all, you must ensure and be certain that you launch what you
think you do, and not some "parasites".
BTW. I didn't use "show()" for a long time, plt.plot(...) plots, and
that's it.

All the best

I would also unload all modules you have loaded, if Lou has a module system
installed. In the past I?ve found that the module system used on HPC
systems can defeat the rpath trickery that conda uses to associate an
extension module with a python package.

This should go either to anaconda support or to your local sysadmins.

It may also be worth trying to us `tkagg` which tends to bundled with
python and may have a higher chance of working.
