Re: [Matplotlib-users] Trouble installing basemap 1.0.6 on OSX 10.8.2

Jeff,

I'm not to experienced with these installations, so I really don't know. If you send a link to another installation I could try it. For what it's worth, If I run python setup.py build for basemap-1.0.5 I do not get this error.
