Installing matplotlib on Ubuntu 14.04 after installing Python 3 with pyenv
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 with Python 2.7.6. I have installed matplotlib for Python 2. Now, I just installed Python 3.4.2 using pyenv install 3.4.2. I then ran pip install matplotlib to install matplotlib for Python 3. I later discovered the package python3-matplotlib for Ubuntu 14.04. I wonder: should I have used sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib instead? What is the preferred way of installing matplotlib for Python 3 side-by- side with the Python 2 matplotlib?

I dont have Ubuntu system right now with me. but still I can help you I think.
open your terminal and type as
apt-cache search python3-matplotlib
If you find it like its available then you can install it from
sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib
that is the most preferred way.
Now how to use matplotlib with python 3. I have posted a question also in here about how to use python2 and python3 side by side.
Simple , use python3 <filename.py> while executing your program with python3-matplotlib
and similarly if you use python2 then it will load python 2.
hope that helps.

It is a problem with the development files of libgeos. I have the same problem and it was resolved by installing those libraries. Hope it helps.
