[Matplotlib-users] GEOS installation for Basemap package

[Paul Hobson]

Ahlam,

I'm by no means an expert on compiling this libraries on any OS. If you
don't need the absolutely bleeding-edge versions, I would use conda to
install them.

For instance
conda install geopandas --channel=conda-forge

automatically grabs and installs a pre-compiled GEOS binary to support the
geopandas library
