Jeff - Thanks, that seemed to solve _that_ problem. However, after
going through the build process (again, successfully), I get the
following when trying to import Basemap:
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
File "/usr/local/epd/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/
basemap/__init__.py", line 43, in <module>
import _geoslib, netcdftime
ImportError: libgeos_c.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
I had to compile geos because this version of Basemap didn't seem to
work with the version of geos that EPD uses. I built GEOS in a local
home directory. Do I need to build it in a global location (like /usr/
local)?
