Install error(s) #551

Closed ktavabi closed 2 years ago

ktavabi commented 2 years ago

As per your install instructions: python -m pip install basemap throws an error with Python 3.9.13, and Clang 13.1.6 (clang-1316.0.21.2.5) on darwin with GEOS installed via homebrew.

src/_geoslib.c:745:10: fatal error: 'geos_c.h' file not found

include "geos_c.h"
           ^~~~~~~~~~
  220 warnings and 1 error generated.
  error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit code 1

As a matter of fact, every single one of your installation instructions throws some error.

Hi @ktavabi. I have a couple of questions:

What value did you assign to the environment variable GEOS_DIR?
Where is the path to the GEOS installation through Homebrew?

Unfortunately, without more feedback there is not much more that I can do to help. The piece of traceback is typical from not setting GEOS_DIR to the appropriate folder. If that is not the case, feel free to re-open this issue.
