Hi again, So I removed everything and started again ( with version 1-0-2 :) ) but am still having trouble, GEOS_DIR seems to be set correctly but I get the following error when trying to make the GEOS library with,

You should set GEOS_DIR to the directory you specified with --prefix when you ran configure for geos 3.2.0 (I think the default is /usr/local). However, it looks like you have a redhat installed geos library in /usr/lib (seems like it is version 3.3.1). You probably could just install the -dev package (which would put the include file in /usr/include), and the basemap setup.py would autodetect it. Also, the latest version of basemap is 1.0.2, not 1.0.1. -Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
