Hi Chris,<br><br>I've seen this before when trying to build yt on my machine. If the matplotlib installer can't find tcl/tk on your machine, it won't be able to build Tkinter. You'll need to install <a href="http://www.tcl.tk/">tcl/tk</a> and re-run the yt install script. <br>
<br>You should be able to use yt with the 'Agg' backend even if you don't do this. You won't be able to view figures interactively, but you will be able to save .png files to look at later. This is probably the default backend, which is why moving the matplotlibrc file allowed you to start iyt. <br>

A followup:<br><br>I tried the install script on a different machine and it installed fine. I then went back to my original machine and mv'ed the ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file out of the way and the ipython session started properly with iyt.<br>
<br>So something in my matplibrc file is causing the crash, but the only warning I received was that the numerix param was obsolete. I tried just commenting out that particular line in the matplotlibrc file but I still recieve the same errors as before. Any ideas what else in the matplotlibrc file could be causing the crash?<br>

Hi Chris,<br>
<br>
Could you try switching the backend in your .matplotlibrc file to<br>
TkAgg? yt may not install all the GUI backends matplotlib can support,<br>
but it should work with TkAgg straight out of the box.<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
<br>
jeff<br>
