Thanks for your answer. I don't have any problems with other packages. It's just basemap. I tried a fresh virtualenv with just numpy, scipy, and matplotlib installed. But the installation of basemap fails. I also tried with mpl 1.3.1. Same problem.
It may be specific to Ubuntu 14.04. I'll talk to my colleagues who use other OS's. Remo On 30.08.2014 20:42, Benjamin Root wrote: > This doesn't "feel" like a basemap/matplotlib problem.
