I just started a new job and I have to set up my geospatial environment in Windows (I was a mac user before). I am having trouble navigating around geopandas bug #830. Based on the comments for the bug, it looks like if I can downgrade pyproj to version 1.9.4 it will fix the issue. BUT, I cannot get 1.9.4 installed for one reason or another. I have tried the following without success:

conda install -c conda-forge pyproj==1.9.4

When I try this, it gets hung up in the "Solving Environment" stage.

I then tried this:

pip install pyproj==1.9.4

but, I get this error:

Collecting pyproj-1.9.4
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyproj-1.9.4 (from 
versions: )
No matching distribution found for pyproj-1.9.4

So, I tried downloading the tar file and doing the following:

pip install "C:\Users\myname\Downloads\pyproj-1.9.4.tar"

but got this error:

Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such 
file or directory: 'C:\Users\myname\Downloads\pyproj-1.9.4.tar'

I have actually done more than this (it has been a long 8 hours), but I am hoping that somebody smarter than I can put me out of my misery :-) I am using conda version 4.5.11 and python 3.5.6.

Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Did you try the "solution" mentioned in https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/issues/830#issuecomment-426116505 – joris Oct 09 '18 at 06:11
  • `Solving Environment` can sometimes take **aaaaages.** How long did you actually give it? – nekomatic Oct 09 '18 at 12:40
  • Also, are you trying to set up a new environment for this or are you trying to downgrade a package in an existing env? I would definitely try a new environment and specify the packages you want in the `conda create` command. – nekomatic Oct 09 '18 at 12:42
  • @nekomatic All in all, I spent near 15 hours, but I think I finally got it to work. As joris suggested, one of the temporary fixes over at GitHub worked. Thanks for your help! – jtam Oct 09 '18 at 15:11
