I have done the following on allegra and rosalba:

[root@allegra caltech]# yum install glade2

On rosalba the matplotlib was out of date with respect to allegra.  I have no idea how the version 0.98 on allegra got there, but I left it.  However I updated rosalba to the epel version

  1 yum remove python-numpy
  2 yum install python-matplotlib numpy scipy --enablerepo=epel --disablerepo=rpmforge

This is all to support the LIGO data listener which now has a shortcut on rosalba and allegra's desktop.  It seems to work for (live mode) right now.
