Well, while I waited for more help/thoughts on the matter, I happened to have another machine with Jaunty 9.04 that I thought I’d give a try
I consolidated the install down with the “apt-get” commands at the bottom, and matplotlib failed on the new machine as well (but took longer to fail possibly because the other machine had already compiled everything up to the failing point). This “new” machine is Intel-based, whereas the other one was AMD-based. Similar error message:
