I just built matplotlib and basemap from source on a RHEL system, with EPD as my base Python installation.
The build procedure for matplotlib was fairly straightforward, as was basemap (once I read Jeff's documentation on installing).
However, once I try to import basemap, I get an error about dbflib (ipython session below):
In [1]: from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
···
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/shake/losspager/1.15/<ipython console> in <module>()
/usr/local/epd/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/basemap/__init__.py in <module>()
36 from matplotlib.lines import Line2D
37 from matplotlib.transforms import Bbox
---> 38 import pyproj, sys, os, math, dbflib
39 from proj import Proj
40 import numpy as np
ImportError: No module named dbflib
Where is dbflib supposed to be?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike: Try editing setup.cfg and changing
pyshapelib = True
It's set to 'auto' by default. I bet it's detecting an existing pyshapelib install, but then can find all the parts of it that it needs.

Jeff - Thanks, that seemed to solve _that_ problem. However, after going through the build process (again, successfully), I get the following when trying to import Basemap:
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
File "/usr/local/epd/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/basemap/__init__.py", line 43, in <module>
import _geoslib, netcdftime
ImportError: libgeos_c.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I had to compile geos because this version of Basemap didn't seem to work with the version of geos that EPD uses. I built GEOS in a local home directory. Do I need to build it in a global location (like /usr/local)?

Mike: Sounds like you need to modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH to add the directory where you installed libgeos.
