Howdy,
I built basemap 1.0.5 and matplotlib 1.2.0rc3 via the simple command
'python setup.py bdist_rpm' without an error that I can tell. When I
attempt to install them, I get a conflict between the two. For example:
file /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/__init__.pyc from
install of basemap-1.0.5-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
matplotlib-1.2.0rc3-1.x86_64
file /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/__init__.pyo from
install of basemap-1.0.5-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
matplotlib-1.2.0rc3-1.x86_64
Working around this error is easy with some rpm flags, but was curious what
the proper solution for this situation is?
thanks!

PS. When i built matplotlib 1.2.0rc3 on RHEL6 64bit, I need to hard set
provide_dateutil to make the resulting build work when deployed. I think
the problem is that the build is seeing it already installed from the
previous install of matplotlib , which gets blown out with the rpm update?
 I am probably rehashing well known items, sorry.

The third and (crossing fingers) final release candidate for matplotlib 
1.2.0 has been posted.
Source tarballs and binaries for Windows and OS-X are available from the 
matplotlib github download page:
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/downloads
Please try it out and report any bugs so we can make this the best 
matplotlib release yet!
