Yes, that is true. I set the virtualenv with --no-site-packages as I want a reproducible environment for my Django project. This should not mean that I cannot install matplotlib within the virtualenv though, surely?
You can install matplotlib just fine in your virtualenv, but with one prerequisite: all necessary libraries and header files must be available for pip to be able to compile matplotlib.
This compiling-and-grabbing-headers stuff is already handled for you by your OS and now you'll have to do it yourself. Which is fine, but it *does* mean you must have all xyz-devel packages installed.
An alternative is to keep your global python clean and only install specific packages with your OS that are best handled by the OS. Don't "pip install" other stuff by hand.
