[Matplotlib-users] Basemap 0.99.4 and MPL 0.99.0

[John S. <sla...@gm...>]

Am trying to climb the AIPY mountain and as pre-reqs am trying to get
basemap installed. On Ubuntu 9.10 and have Python 2.6.4 and setuptools
for easy_install. 
Using Synaptic I have installed MPL 0.99.0 and, using the installation
instructions for 'other platforms' Have installed GEOS and libgeos_c is
in /usr/lib and geos_c.h in /usr/include so have set GEOS_DIR to /usr
and untar-ed basemap-0.99.4.tar.gz (could not find 0.99.5 - speaks to my
expertise) in a folder in /usr/share.

CD to basemap-0.99.4 and ran the usual:

python setup.py install

and got screeds of errors. The last ones remaining in my terminal window
are:

Does anyone have any idea of where I am going obviously wrong?

         Kind Regards,
