Problem installing basemap
Hi, I previously installed basemap by using the yum command. This installed version 0.99.4. I want to install the latest version but am having some problems. My system info is,
Code:
[davcra@David basemap-1.0.1]$ uname -a
Linux David 3.3.0-4.fc16.i686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 20 18:45:14 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

yum doesnt seem to find the latest version so I have been following some instructions from
HTML Code:
http://matplotlib.github.com/basemap/users/installing.html
. I downloaded the latest version and untarred it. Then in the basemap directory (which contains geos-3.2.0) I try to set the environment variable GEOS_DIR to point to the location of libgeos_c and geos_c.h.
I use the find command to locate the files,
Code:
find / -name geos_c.h

returns the location of that file as
Code:
/usr/lib/basemap-1.0.1/geos-3.2.0/capi/geos_c.h

and
Code:
find / -name libgeos*

returns
Code:
/libgeos_c_la-geos_c.Plo
/usr/lib/libgeos-3.3.1.so
/usr/lib/libgeos_c.so.1.7.1
/usr/lib/libgeos_c.so.1

so I set GEOS_DIR to /usr/lib.
I then cd to the basemap directory and run,
python setup.py install but get the following error,
Code:
[davcra@David basemap-1.0.1]$ sudo python setup.py install
[sudo] password for davcra: 
checking for GEOS lib in /root ....
checking for GEOS lib in /usr ....
checking for GEOS lib in /usr/local ....
checking for GEOS lib in /sw ....
checking for GEOS lib in /opt ....
checking for GEOS lib in /opt/local ....

Can't find geos library . Please set the
environment variable GEOS_DIR to point to the location
where geos is installed (for example, if geos_c.h
is in /usr/local/include, and libgeos_c is in /usr/local/lib,
set GEOS_DIR to /usr/local), or edit the setup.py script
manually and set the variable GEOS_dir (right after the line
that says "set GEOS_dir manually here".

It doesnt like the environment variable so can I just move geos_c.h to /usr/lib or will that mess things up altogether??
Thanks,
D
