Mike: Unfortunately, if matplotlib was installed as an egg, you can't install Basemap. This bug has been fixed in 0.98pre, but that won't help you unless you compile matplotlib and Basemap from svn. I think you can manually fix it by adding some symbolic links manually in the egg directory structure, but I don't remember the details. -Jeff > > My site-packages directory looks like this: > -rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin 119 Oct 5 2007 README > drwxr-xr-x 20 root admin 680 Apr 30 16:43 > basemap-0.9.9.1-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg > -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 555 Apr 30 16:43 easy-install.pth > drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 136 Apr 30 16:49 > ipython-0.8.3.svn.r3001-py2.5.egg > drwxr-xr-x 12 root admin 408 Apr 30 16:48 > matplotlib-0.98pre-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg > drwxr-xr-x 11 root admin 374 Apr 17 15:03 > matplotlib-0.98pre-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg > drwxr-xr-x 5 root admin 170 Apr 30 16:38 nose-0.10.1-py2.5.egg > drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 136 Apr 17 15:03 > numpy-1.0.5.dev4954-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg > drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 136 Apr 30 16:48 > numpy-1.1.0.dev5077-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg > drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 136 Apr 17 15:04 > pymc-2.0DEV_r686-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg > drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 136 Apr 30 16:49 > pymc-2.0DEV_r709-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg > drwxr-xr-x 6 root admin 204 Apr 17 15:04 > readline-2.5.1-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg > drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 136 Apr 17 15:04 > scipy-0.7.0.dev4075-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg > drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 136 Apr 30 16:48 > scipy-0.7.0.dev4174-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg > -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 324858 Apr 17 15:03 > setuptools-0.6c8-py2.5.egg > -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 29 Apr 30 16:41 setuptools.pth > > The easy-install.pth file looks like this: > import sys; sys.__plen = len(sys.path) > ./setuptools-0.6c8-py2.5.egg > ./readline-2.5.1-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg > ./ipython-0.8.3.svn.r3001-py2.5.egg > ./numpy-1.1.0.dev5077-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg > ./matplotlib-0.98pre-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg > ./scipy-0.7.0.dev4174-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg > ./pymc-2.0DEV_r709-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg > ./nose-0.10.1-py2.5.egg > ./basemap-0.9.9.1-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg > import sys; new=sys.path[sys.__plen:]; del sys.path[sys.__plen:]; > p=getattr(sys,'__egginsert',0); sys.path[p:p]=new; sys.__egginsert = > p+len(new) > > -- Jeffrey S.
