scipy calls an external image viewer program to display the image.

The name of this program is stored in the environment variable
SCIPY_PIL_IMAGE_VIEWER.  If that variable is not present, it uses
'see' by default.

Do you have a suitable image viewing program installed on your computer?
If so, try setting the SCIPY_PIL_IMAGE_VIEWER environment variable to the
name of that program.
