 3) cd back to the top level basemap directory (basemap-X.Y.Z) and
-run the usual 'python setup.py install'. 
+run the usual 'python setup.py install'.  Check your installation
+by running "from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap" at the python
+prompt.
 
+Basemap includes two auxilliary packages, pydap (http://pydap.org, just 
+the client is included) and httplib2.  By default, setup.py checks to 
+see if these are already installed, and if so does not try to overwrite 
+them. If you get import errors related to either of these two packages, 
+edit setup.cfg and set pydap and/or httplib to True to force 
+installation of the included versions.

 4) To test, cd to the examples directory and run 'python simpletest.py'.
 To run all the examples (except those that have extra dependencies
 or require an internet connection), execute 'python run_all.py'.
