[matplotlib-devel] basemap not working with GEOS 3.1

Hi,

I get a Topology Exception with GEOS 3.1:

import mpl_toolkits.basemap as bm
print "GEOS version: ", bm._geoslib.__geos_version__
print "basemap version: ", bm.__version__

m = bm.Basemap(width=12000000,height=8000000, \
            resolution='l',projection='laea',\
            lat_0=55,lon_0=175.)

output:

GEOS version:  3.1.0-CAPI-1.5.0
basemap version:  0.99.3
GEOS_ERROR: TopologyException: found non-noded intersection between
3.03025e+06 1.45852e+07, 3.02518e+06 1.45831e+07 and 3.02379e+06

Any solutions?
