Description of problem: Import of matplotlib basemap fails under Fedora 21, because the matplotlib-basemap data cannot be found (python-basemap-data). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-basemap-data 1.0.7 2.fc21 python-basemap 1.0.7 4.fc21 How reproducible: Since the data directory does not exist the import will always fail. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install python-basemap, python-basemap-data and all its dependencies 2. import basemap in a python shell: from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap Actual results: IOError: proj data directory not found. Expecting it at: /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/basemap/data This path does not exist. Expected results: succesfull import of matplotlib-basemap
