Cannot install basemap properly when installing davitpy #236

Closed Shirling-VT closed 8 years ago

Shirling-VT commented 8 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to install davitpy on my new computer and meet a problem. After I finished installing it step by step as it is exactly shown in our README.md file, it cannot find the basemap module.

When I input "from davitpy import pydarn" in the ipython command line: Loaded davitpyrc file from DaViTpy installation directory. Path: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/davitpy-0.5-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/davitpy /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/davitpy-0.5-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/davitpy/utils/init.pyc -> utils.plotUtils: cannot import name basemap /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py:273: UserWarning: Matplotlib is building the font cache using fc-list. This may take a moment. warnings.warn('Matplotlib is building the font cache using fc-list. This may take a moment.') problem importing fan: No module named basemap problem importing musicPlot: No module named basemap problem importing proc: No module named basemap

I find out that while executing "pip install --upgrade basemap" command in debian_dependencies.sh, these errors will come out: Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement basemap in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7 Downloading/unpacking basemap Cleaning up... No distributions at all found for basemap in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7 Storing debug log for failure in /tmp/tmp_u_Y84**

I installed davitpy many times in my old computer, never meet this issue before. Anyone has any idea on why my computer cannot find a satisfactory basemap to install? It is a brand new computer with Ubuntu 14.01 OS.

Hi, Shirling.

Whenever I get that message, I just reinstall basemap from source: https://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib-toolkits/basemap-1.0.7/

Use the *.gz file at the end, and follow the readme. Sometimes, I end up having to install some extra dependencies along the way. I just check the error messages and see what it wants.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot, Nathaniel! I will definitely give that a try. Even for the Mac version installation script "_python_install_macbrew.sh", I found I have to install some of the softwares manually.

I am confirming that this is problem on Ubuntu 14.04 now.

I just installed davitpy on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.04 and of course I ran the debian_dependencies.sh script but basemap isn't found:

import mpl_toolkits.basemap as basemap
ImportError: No module named basemap

So it's not installing correctly.

This fix (which I just tested), is append

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap.git
cd basemap/geos-3.3.3
export GEOS_DIR=/usr/local
./configure --prefix=$GEOS_DIR
make
make check
make install
ldconfig
cd ..
python setup.py install

to the debian_dependencies.sh file. I'm making a pull request to fix this.
