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,

sudo make; make install

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
   /home/davcra/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

David:

The basemap setup.py is assuming that the geos library is installed in
<GEOS_DIR>/lib, and geos_c.h in <GEOS_DIR>/include.  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.
