Hello, I am new to python, matplotlib and basemap, but I _am_ familiar with Linux.
I have dome some searching on this but am still not sure where I am going wrong. It looks like basemap is being installed as an "egg" even though I used this command when installing: python setup.py install When I try an example, it won't run ... "ImportError: No module named basemap" Here are some additional details: ~$ uname -r 2.6.28-15-server ~$ cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 9.04 ~$ python --version Python 2.6.2 I installed matplotlib, numpy and other requirements via the package management ~$ sudo apt-get install python-numpy-ext ~$ sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib ~$ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install g++ ~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential ~$ sudo apt-get install python-dev ~$ ls /usr/local/lib/libgeos* /usr/local/lib/libgeos-3.2.0.so /usr/local/lib/libgeos_c.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libgeos.a /usr/local/lib/libgeos_c.so.1.6.0 /usr/local/lib/libgeos_c.a /usr/local/lib/libgeos.la /usr/local/lib/libgeos_c.la /usr/local/lib/libgeos.so /usr/local/lib/libgeos_c.so When installing, here is the command I have been running and the subsequent output ~/Downloads/basemap-1.0$ sudo python setup.py install checking for GEOS lib in /home/myusername .... checking for GEOS lib in /usr .... checking for GEOS lib in /usr/local ....
