[Matplotlib-users] backend for matplotlib on NAS Lou

[Slavin, Jonathan]

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?

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

in <lambda>(key)
    196         shell = self.shell
    197         if self.pylab:
--> 198             enable = lambda key: shell.enable_pylab(key,
import_all=self.pylab_import_all)
    199             key = self.pylab
    200         elif self.matplotlib:
...
(snipped)

/u/jdslavin/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/qt_compat.py
in <module>()
    135     if QT_API == QT_API_PYQT5:
    136         try:
--> 137             from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
    138             _getSaveFileName = QtWidgets.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName
    139         except ImportError:

ImportError: /lib64/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.12' not found
(required by
/u/jdslavin/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PyQt5/../../.././libglib-2.0.so.0)

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?
