Estou executando meu script python em outra máquina usandossh comando emlinux. Eu também executei este comando:

source ~/.bashrc 

após o logon na outra máquina, para definir os caminhos adequados na nova máquina. Eu estava recebendo a mensagem de erro para executar as seguintes linhas de código python, mesmo que tentei seguir as instruções emessa questão definindo o back-end.

>>> import matplotlib
>>> import pylab as plt
>>> matplotlib.use('Agg')
>>> import numpy as np
>>> x=np.arange(0,2,0.001)
>>> y=np.sin(x)**2+4*np.cos(x)
>>> fig = plt.figure()
>>> plt.plot(x,y,'r.')     

A mensagem de erro

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.
Traceback (most recent call last):
