I can't get matplotlib to work under OS X El Capitan. I am using Python 3.5.2 and I have Anaconda 4.1.1 installed.
Similar to other post, when I try to run a simple program involving matplotlib (happens with any example I have tried), I get the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "example2.py", line 1, in <module> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
File "//anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 1131, in <module> rcParams = rc_params()

File "//anaconda/lib/python3.5/locale.py", line 486, in _parse_localename raise
ValueError('unknown locale: %s' % localename)
ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8
Any hints how to get out of this? Thanks!
