pip error on Macbook pro (m1 pro)

CaffreyR opened this issue · comments

Hi! I am working on Macbook pro with basemap, but I met some issues. When I try to pip install basemap, there is something wrong with this. But I have already brew install geos, what's wrong? Thanks!

Hi @CaffreyR! Did you set the GEOS_DIR environment variable? Since your traceback says that the file "geos_c.h" is not found, I would assume that the _geoslib module cannot be compiled because of not finding the GEOS headers in your system.

I'm getting the same problem, and I'm setting GEOS_DIR.
Brew installs geos=3.10.2, this comment in basemap suggests installing an older version #533

Hi @ronaldbradford, thanks for the feedback. Could you confirm me if you can find a "geos_c.h" file in your system and the value that you are assigning to GEOS_DIR?

I was using GEOS_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/geos/3.10.2

I've uninstalled and building form source right now to see if I can confirm it fixes my issuel

I have installed geos 3.8.2 from source https://libgeos.org/usage/download/

FWIW 'm also getting the same error with

$ pip3 install basemap==1.3.1
$ pip3 install basemap==1.3.0

From your traceback I would infer that there is no problem with finding the header file but with finding the library itself.

The problematic line could be this one in the setup file:

libname = "{0}*.{1}*".format(libcode, libext)

The setup file tries to find the library assuming that the library filename follows the pattern "libgeos_c*.so*" and is placed inside $GEOS_DIR/lib, $GEOS_DIR/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or $GEOS_DIR/lib64. Is this correct for MacOS? If not, then the setup file would need an update.

I have installed geos 3.9.2 now from source https://libgeos.org/usage/download/
I Installed basemap from source via https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap instructions
Debugging setup.py is beyond my knowledge level. I know it's late there, please let me know what I can try.

>>> print("{},{},{}".format(libext,libcode,libname))
so,libgeos_c,libgeos_c*.so*

So yes, there is no *.so file on MacOS

This traceback shows much more information. Something is going wrong when setting the compilation flags internally, because the clang call is missing a -I$GEOS_DIR/include (with $GEOS_DIR expanded to your value). This is supposed to be done by the setup.py but it is clear that it is not doing its job in MacOS.

Can you check if setting the environment variable CFLAGS="-I$GEOS_DIR/include" in advance lets you go further with the installation?

4121440

You got it. This commit done by me is causing at least one of the problems. Before, only the presence of the header file was checked. I wanted to ensure that the library was actually there too, but only considered the extensions for Windows (.dll) and for manylinux (.so).

I will need to update this. But still I am confused, because in your other traceback the first check seems to pass but later the compilation of _geoslib fails due to the missing clang header argument.

What is clear is that I should create a GitHub Action to build MacOS wheels, because with them this error would have appeared fast.

It is a bit late for me now but I will try to take a look to this either tomorrow afternoon or this weekend.

Hi @CaffreyR! Did you set the GEOS_DIR environment variable? Since your traceback says that the file "geos_c.h" is not found, I would assume that the _geoslib module cannot be compiled because of not finding the GEOS headers in your system.

I'm getting the same problem, and I'm setting GEOS_DIR. Brew installs geos=3.10.2, this comment in basemap suggests installing an older version #533

Yep, I have set the dir in .bash_profile too. As you can see above. @molinav
image
And does an older version work? @ronaldbradford

@CaffreyR You need to define GEOS_DIR as an independent environment variable instead of adding the GEOS directory to PATH, like so:

export GEOS_DIR="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/geos/3.10.2"

Still, this won't be enough because the setup file needs a correction as shown by @ronaldbradford above. Here the GEOS version does not play a role: the recommendation about the version limit for GEOS is due to a problem only when drawing the Antarctic coast.

@ronaldbradford I have just pushed some commits to the bugfix-539 branch. There, I reimplement how the GEOS library is searched so that it also considers .dylib extensions on MacOS. Could you give a try and install from this branch to see if your problem is solved on your system?

@CaffreyR May I ask you to try my attempt of fixing your problem? You need to do:

export GEOS_DIR="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/geos/3.10.2"
git clone https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap.git
cd basemap/packages/basemap
git checkout bugfix-539
python -m pip install .

OK!But there's something wrong with the git , maybe for network in my region, let me try it again later. @molinav

@CaffreyR Be sure not to use --depth 1 when cloning, because then the history is not downloaded and you cannot change to the bugfix branch. I wrote it wrong and edited my message, but if you copied the snippet from an email notification it will still be there.

see there is continuously disconnection, whether I use my VPN. Is there any chance that git broken? @molinav

@CaffreyR It looks more like a network issue then. Maybe you can try a bit later in case the connection gets better.

@ronaldbradford Thanks! Great to see that it works. I will prepare a patch release 1.3.3 soon so that the source distributions from PyPI also work for MacOS.

@molinav Finnally!!!! I downloaded the git! It really worked! Thanks so much!

@CaffreyR Nice to hear! Thanks!

commented

I'll leave an update on how to solve this since even bug #539 of basemap has been fixed but I still had this issue even after.
You want to make sure you first run
brew install geos

Then, @molinav 's lines might need some modifications. Check where geos is being stored, it might not be "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/geos/3.10.2". This will be printed when you install geos using brew. For me, it was rather

export GEOS_DIR = "/usr/local"

Then,

cd basemap/packages/basemap

And again, this will be different since the bugfix-539 branch has already been merged and deleted;

git checkout develop

And finally

python -m pip install .

Summary:

brew install geos
export GEOS_DIR = "/usr/local"
cd basemap/packages/basemap
git checkout develop
python -m pip install .

@isimo00 Thanks for the feedback. I recently created a hotfix version 1.3.3 with the corrections for Mac and pushed it to PyPI:
https://pypi.org/project/basemap/1.3.3/

Although there are no precompiled wheels for Mac, now you can install basemap from the PyPI source distribution, so in principle it would be enough with doing the following (assuming that you have a C compiler):

brew install geos
export GEOS_DIR="/usr/local"
python -m pip install basemap

The good thing of this approach is that you do not need to deal with the specific commands related to using a repository clone.

commented

@molinav Oh great! Thanks for the answer and work, hopefully this will make it easier for future users.

Thanks a lot @molinav ! Came here precisely to find this ❤️
I can say it works here too, with the slight adjustment of
export GEOS_DIR="/opt/homebrew".

Any chance to get a wheel at some point to conda-forge, please?

@jucor Actually there was some work recently in the corresponding feedstock, and we managed to make the pipelines pass again with the new basemap 1.3.x series. I am waiting for some feedback from the other people involved in the PR just to be sure that everything also looks ok for them... And then we will have basemap back in conda-forge. ;-)

hi
for me its not working
here are the steps which did
1-download the basemap
2- export GEOS_DIR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/geos/3.11.1/
3- cd basemap/packages/basemap
4-python -m pip install basemap

but failed to build wheel for basemap.

Hi @ihaseeburrehman. I am not an expert on macOS and I have no macOS machine to test, but this seems to be some issue related to the build toolchain rather than basemap itself, see for example this issue:

llvm/llvm-project#55836

Since you were able to install basemap successfully in your homebrewed Python based on #547 (comment), looking at your environment variables could help you find a solution (to ensure that Anaconda and your SDK do not conflict).

@CaffreyR May I ask you to try my attempt of fixing your problem? You need to do:

export GEOS_DIR="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/geos/3.10.2"
git clone https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap.git
cd basemap/packages/basemap
git checkout bugfix-539
python -m pip install .

Hello here :)
While running git checkout bugfix-539 I have the following error:
error: pathspec 'bugfix-539' did not match any file(s) known to git

Hi @xpivan! The bugfix-539 branch was a temporary branch to solve this issue, but it was removed as soon as it was merged back to the main branches. You can try to install from any stable tag, e.g. for version 1.3.8 it would be as below:

python -m pip install https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/archive/v1.3.8.tar.gz#subdirectory=packages/basemap

Please note that until I release basemap version 1.3.9, you should ensure that you have numpy < 1.24, otherwise you might be hit by the bug reported recently in #589.

Hi @molinav

Thanks for your answer. I changed my numpy version to 1.23.0
My python version is 3.8.10
I'm also using Mac M1 Chip

Using the command

python -m pip install https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/archive/v1.3.8.tar.gz#subdirectory=packages/basemap

returns the same problem:

@xpivan Do you have GEOS on your system? When building basemap from source, you need GEOS available on your system (e.g. installed with homebrew). Once GEOS is installed, you need to define the environment variable GEOS_DIR with the location where GEOS was installed.

From the traceback, "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/geos/3.10.2" does not look like a valid GEOS installation root, so my first guess would be that you do not have the GEOS library in this location.

@molinav GEOS was properly installed but I realized reading your message that my export was pointing to the wrong version. I changed the export from
export GEOS_DIR="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/geos/3.10.2"

to

export GEOS_DIR="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/geos/3.12.0"

It works like a charm.

Thank you for taking time and helping solving for my issue. I really appreciated it.

Cheers

Hello, I have been trying to run code originally written for Python 2, but I have encountered some issues when attempting to run it

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "PyVelest.py", line 27, in
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/basemap/init.py", line 53, in

ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_geoslib.so, 0x0002): symbol not found in flat namespace '_GEOSArea'

I have done everything that others have suggested in this issue, but I don't have any idea what's going on. I use a Mac M2, and I don't know if there is any problem with Macs.

When I try to install basemap via pip3 on my Mac, I wish that instead of, or in addition to, failing to find the header file when I don't have geos installed, it would tell me to install geos.

Hi @ofloveandhate! The issue here is that with a pip installation you cannot recommend installing GEOS with pip, the GEOS installation is somehow a "manual" step to do before the pip install basemap call. We can still, of course, reformulate the error message to make it a bit more descriptive (e.g. common ways to install GEOS, either from homebrew, from conda, from GNU/Linux package manager, etc.).

Which is your current environment on MacOS (system version, Python version)? I am currently experimenting to create MacOS wheels with a local Mac mini (making GEOS be already bundled in the wheel), so it would be great if somebody can try them succesfully too before they become public. They seem to work in my computer, but I am not so experienced with Mac devices.

@molinav I'm on Python 3.11 provided by homebrew, on a 2020 Mac Mini with an M1 chip running MacOS 13.6 (I cannot change the MacOS version, it's managed by my university).

I guess I was mostly asking not for pip to provide geos, but to tell me that there's an expectation that I would have geos installed separately as a pre-requisite step. (Especially since I teach, and I was helping a student install things for a project, having never installed basemap before I didn't understand that they/I needed to install geos separately).

Additional context for why I think an improved warning / message would help: I had been previously conditioned to suspect a missing header problem as a package bug, due to a few similar bugs I encountered in other Python packages.

@ofloveandhate Thanks for the feedback, I will try to update the warning message in the following days so that the information for the end users is more clear. If it is ok for you, I will ask you for feedback once I prepare the new message.

In the meantime, may I ask you to try the following wheel? I built it for Python 3.11 on macOS Sonoma (14.1.2), but using an older SDK (11.3), so it should also work with previous macOS versions. Please replace first the extension ".zip" with ".whl", since GitHub does not allow to attach wheel files in issue comments:
basemap-1.4.0.dev0-cp311-cp311-macosx_11_0_arm64.zip

After renaming the file to use ".whl" instead of ".zip", it should be possible to install basemap by typing the usual pip call (optionally with --ignore-installed in case basemap is already on your environment):

python -m pip install basemap-1.4.0.dev0-cp311-cp311-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl

This basemap wheel already bundles GEOS 3.6.5, so once installed it should work out of the box. It would be very useful if you can check that it works, because then I would be a bit more confident to upload these macOS wheels (built locally) to PyPI in the short future. I tried to build them with an even older SDK (11.0), but without success due to some missing C symbols, so it seems SDK 11.3 is the lowest version I can use to build GEOS 3.6.5.

@ofloveandhate May I ask if you found some time to try the wheel?

@molinav It was successful out of the box!


These are the homebrew packages I had installed: (I removed geos before testing your wheel)

(thanks for both your patience, and your follow-through!)

So finally we have the first basemap packages in conda-forge for MacOS ARM64 (since version 1.3.9). I was planning to postpone this to basemap 1.4.0, but this way I can use basemap 1.3.9 as test release to ensure that the conda-forge recipe is working as expected for the next minor release.

A simple example would be as follows:

(base) vic@alpha:~$ conda create -y -c conda-forge -n test39 python=3.9 basemap

==> WARNING: A newer version of conda exists. <==
  current version: 23.3.1
  latest version: 23.11.0

Please update conda by running

    $ conda update -n base -c conda-forge conda

Or to minimize the number of packages updated during conda update use

     conda install conda=23.11.0

(test39) vic@alpha:~$ python -c "from mpl_toolkits import basemap; print(basemap.__version__)"
1.3.9

I found out that it is very important for basemap to stay within the conda-forge channel for the dependencies, otherwise there is unexpected behaviour (some numpy dylibs missing).

cc @jucor since you were asking about this very long ago.

Brilliant! Thanks a lot for the update @molinav :)
