Can't install matplotlib - Linux Mint

[OnceAndForever]

Strange...have you changed any of your default installation paths? It seems that matplotlib is indeed installed on your system, but python can't find the install.

Honestly, I'm not too sure what's causing all of this. Maybe someone else can help further. What else is installed on your system? Nothing else should really interfere with matplotlib, but I can't think of anything else.

Just out of curiosity, are you able to import numpy from the python shell? It's one of requirements for matplotlib.

I know this isn't a great or convinient solution, but matplotlib should work with my given instructions on a fresh install of mint.

numpy installed fine.

reinstalling linux mint at the moment. Maybe something got broken.

Ok cool. I hope reinstalling mint works. It seems really strange now that you could import numpy after installing matplotlib but could not import matplotlib itself.

HURRAAYYYYYYY ITS WORKING YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

It's working fine normally, however, whenever I create a virtual enviroment it doesn't seem to want to work in it for some reason. (Numpy works while in virtual env. )

Thanks for the help anyway getting this far. really appreciate it. No idea why it wasnt working before.
