Hi,
Bit of a newbie question first. I have fedora installed as a partition on a lenovo G570 laptop. When I type
I get,
the man page tells me this is
sysname = Linux
nodename = David
release = 3.2.6-3.fc16.i686
version = #1 SMP Mon Feb 13 20:52:22 UTC 2012
machine = i686
my first question is why does i386 appear with uname -a??
The real problem I have though is installing basemap (a python mapping package). I've been following the instructions found on the here. I already had the pre-requisites installed so just downloaded and untared basemap-1.0.2, then cd to the directory.
To install the geos library it tells you to set the environment variable to the path to the directory containing both libgeos_c and geos_c.h. So I used find -a to locate them.
as you can see the second one returns nothing.
I tried setting the environment variable to
but when I run the following
I get this error,
No idea what to do now and hoping someone can help!
thanks
David

Hi again,
so the solution is to ignore the website and just
Quote:
yum install python-basemap.i686

then again maybe it isnt,
I used yum to install basemap but it doesnt seem to have installed the latest version. yum info gives,
but sourceforge has basemap-1.0.2, which is what I need. Anyone know why that might be?? and if I can use yum to get the latest version.
Thanks
