https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806040 --- Comment #6 from jdekloe <kloe0040@xxxxxxxxx> --- Thanks again for your comments and explanations. I corresponded to the upstream author and he was kind enough to provide an alternative setup file that allows to build the module using a preinstalled proj version. He also explained some of his reasons to include the proj sources. In fact these are not plain copies, but have been patched in various places. Most of these patches have been submitted to (and accepted by) upstream, but not all. He writes: "pyproj includes a patched copy of the Proj source code in the 'src' directory. I could provide you with a modified version of setup.py that builds against the installed libproj, but it would be missing some features (an inverse for the Hammer projection for one)." and: "The hammer patch is probably the only one that hasn't been included - but I did submit a patch to them over a year ago." Anyway, using the modified setup.py (for the time being it is called setup-proj.py) and a modified spec file, I could build the module succesfully using mock for the rawhide target. Rawhide was needed because as you know pyproj depends on proj-v4.8.0 and this is not (yet) available in Fedora 16 or 17. The new spec and srpm files are available here: Spec URL: http://jdekloe.nl/Fedora/pyproj.spec SRPM URL: http://jdekloe.nl/Fedora/pyproj-1.9.0-2.fc16.r298.src.rpm >Are you aware of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GIS ? no, this is new for me.
