Jeff,
   Many thanks for your help ! The problem was : there was a segmentation error when I call Basemap. I applied the following steps, and then tried to launch ipython, it still has the same problem.
--add export GEOS_DIR=/usr/local/lib
--download basemap 099.4 to /home/xiaoni/software, where the previous version099.3 is saved also
-- sudo python setup.py install

The installation is OK. Then I test:
--ls -l /usr/local/lib/libgeos.so : /usr/local/lib/libgeos.so -> libgeos-3.2.0.so
--ls -l /usr/lib/libgeos.so : /usr/lib/libgeos.so -> libgeos-3.1.0.so
--ls -l /usr/local/lib/libgeos.so : /usr/local/lib/libgeos.so -> libgeos-3.2.0.so
--locate libgeos.so : /usr/lib/libgeos.so , and /usr/local/lib/libgeos.so
--locate _geoslib :
/home/xiaoni/software/basemap-0.99.3/build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/_geoslib.so
/home/xiaoni/software/basemap-0.99.3/build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/src/_geoslib.o
/home/xiaoni/software/basemap-0.99.3/src/_geoslib.c
/home/xiaoni/software/basemap-0.99.3/src/_geoslib.pyx
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/_geoslib.so
(in fact I have saved both basemap -099.3 and basemap-0.99.4 in the /home/xiaoni/software. This result only shows 0.99.3 and is strange to me).

Many thanks again !!

Xiaoni: Is there no traceback? Can you run ldd on the _geoslib.so that you are actually importing when the error occurs (presumably /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/_geoslib.so)? That will tell you what version of the geos library you actually linked. I don't think I can be of much help here - all I can suggest is that you clean out all old versions of basemap, _geoslib.so and libgeos, then rebuild again. The fact that there are so may versions floating around increases the chance that you have a version mismatch somewhere.

Also check the build output and make sure there were no errors building _geoslib.so.

Xianoi: You never said what the actual problem is with basemap. I have seen segfaults when there are two versions of geos installed (version 2 and version 3) and you pick up the header from one version and lib from the other version. I suggest setting the GEOS_DIR env var to /usr/local/lib and re-running the basemap install (python setup.py <http://setup.py> install), after deleting the existing build directory. Hopefully then it will grab both the header and lib for version 3.2.0 (which by the way is a pre-release, as yet untested with basemap).
