   Could you provide some more information about your working environment? This would mean:

   • Operating system.
   • Python version (I guess 2.7).
   • Channel used to install things (e.g. PyPI, Anaconda, GNU/Linux repositories).

   If you are using either Windows or GNU/Linux, I would recommend you to install basemap using pip. Since version 1.3.0 we provide precompiled binary wheels and it is as simple as doing:

   python -m pip install basemap

   In case you need the high-resolution auxiliary datasets, you would have to install them manually:

   python -m pip install basemap-data-hires

   I am closing this issue due to lack of feedback. From your traceback

   RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0xc but this version of numpy is 0xb
   

   this is the typical problem that occurs when you build basemap using a newer numpy version (e.g. >= 1.20) but later run it with an elder numpy version (e.g. < 1.20). There has been effort in remediating this issue by creating GitHub Actions that generate precompiled binary wheels for different platforms (in your case it looks like GNU/Linux).

   I would just recommend you install the precompiled wheels from PyPI if you cannot (or do not want to) build from source. In addition, the basemap repository now contains a pyproject.toml file with the proper definition of the build dependencies, so this problem should not be appearing anymore.
