The list above are the python packages and some of them have C/Fortran dependencies:

Before installing any native libraries required by the python packages add the ubuntugis repository to get the latest versions of the libs.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo apt-get update

• netcdf4-python : NetCDF4 and HDF5 (can be installed using apt-get install ...)
• scipy : requires fortran compiler gfortran
• basemap: requires geos (install libgeos-dev using apt-get)
• GDAL and Fiona: require libgdal (install libgdal-dev using apt-get )
