Bug 749938

Both of these packages (geos and python-basemap) are in EPEL, as opposed to RHEL.

There is an updated python-basemap package in updates-testing that resolves this dependency issue:

Work for me.

Actually when trying to build from source to determine if the following two packages are build with it I get the next following errors:

python-basemap-data-0.99.4-1.el5.noarch.rpm

Without your full log, I have no idea why that build failed.

output of rpmbuild --rebuild python-basemap-0.99.4-9.el6.src.rpm

Sorry about that, added an attachment with the output.

On that system where you are compiling... is pydap and pyshapelib installed from packages?  I'm not aware of those being available as Fedora or EPEL packages.

If basemap is already installed on the system where you are trying to build the package, the module checks might fail in unexpected ways as well..seeing that modules are on the system and skipping their build.

Are you doing this build in a clean build environment like under a local mock?

No packages with those names however these are similar names.

And yes python-basemap is already installed on it.

I can attempt tomorrow to build it in an environment w/o basemap installed.

List of packages intalled on system doing the build on

First thing: Stop building packages as root. That is incredibly dangerous and unnecessary.

Second thing: I think you'll need to remove python-basemap-* in order to build this code on a running system, because it isn't very smart, and checks for the presence of some of its modules at the beginning, and if it finds them, it doesn't bother to build them again:

checking to see if required version of pydap installed ..
pydap installed, checking version ...
pydap version OK, will not be installed
checking to see if httplib2 installed ..
httplib2 installed
checking to see if pyshapelib installed ..
pyshapelib installed

But really, as Jef pointed out, you should be building this code using mock, which will setup a clean buildroot and build the packages in a controlled environment. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock

Sorry I didn't get back.  The new package fixes my problem.  I find it an issue to use mock as the same %defines% are not in RHEL.  Mock works fine with the Fedora defs but I would really like it to use our own repo's.

That is neither here nor there for this ticket.

Resolved.
