[Matplotlib-users] Basemap data installation

[Michael H. <mh...@us...>]

I am experimenting with the Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) on MacOS 
10.5, which includes BaseMap version 0.99.1.  I have existing modules 
that use the 'full' resolution data.  These modules are currently 
failing with the error message below.

I have tried copying what looked like the full resolution data sets 
(gshhs_f.dat and gshhsmeta_f.dat) from my 0.99.2 source installation 
into the EPD basemap data directory, and rerun my scripts, with no success.

I looked at my most recent copy of the basemap README and cannot find 
any reference to the boundary datasets.

So, a question for Jeff, and a request for Enthought:
1) How do I update the EPD with the full resolution data
2) Can the EPD be updated to include the full resolution boundary data?

Thanks,

Mike

If you are requesting a 'full' resolution dataset, you may need to
download and install those files separately
(see the basemap README for details).
