I'm having trouble writing a plot png to disk, and it seems that my dev
installation script might be the culprit, it's giving me the error:

  File
"/nics/b/home/gsiisg/NautilusYT/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_agg.py",
line 180, in get_text_width_height_descent
    font = self._get_agg_font(prop)
  File
"/nics/b/home/gsiisg/NautilusYT/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_agg.py",
line 221, in _get_agg_font
    font = FT2Font(str(fname))
RuntimeError: Could not open facefile
/nics/b/home/gsiisg/NautilusYT/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/Vera.ttf;
Cannot_Open_Resource


In the installation script on line 578 there's:

if [ -e $HOME/.matplotlib/fontList.cache ] && \
   ( grep -q python2.6 $HOME/.matplotlib/fontList.cache )

looking for the 2.6 stuff, even though it installed 2.7, could this be the
cause of my problem?  Will changing the 2.6 to 2.7 fix it?

G.S.
