I didn't get that error, so I deleted ~/.ipython and now I get it :-/
I guess one option would be to use another back-end. One of the
supported back-ends is TkAgg which requires Tkinter which is a library
coming with python itself. However, to get the library we need to
compile python with Tk. We had a discussion about this a few month
back. I'm not sure if the work was not finished because people prefer
to have a smallish python, or because of technical difficulties.
Still another back-end is WXAgg, but currently we lack wxPython. If
the dependency tree is not too deep, this may be the easiest route to
a working (again) matplotlib.
