Sounds like it might be a problem with the particular versions of 
matplotlib and basemap; there was a change in the way we handle 
namespace packages like mpl_toolkits.

Lots of possibilities, so without looking to see exactly what is on each 
system (Linux and Mac), it is impossible to say what the problem is.

For both systems, one easy solution is to use Anaconda.  Basemap is not 
included in the basic installation, but can be added via "conda install 
basemap".  Recommended.
