Phillip: Basemap is a separate toolkit, you won't get it from the matplotlib svn trunk. Instead of svn co https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib matplotlib do svn co https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/toolkits/basemap basemap -Jeff > > Jeff Whitaker wrote: >> Phillip M.
