Hi there,
I am trying to run a basic python program after installing pyGMT. It has been a rough journey as install is very cumbersome and lots of issues with missing libraries and need for manually identifying location of libraries. The problem do not stop there.
I am running following code and am getting error message. Can somebody help in this regards? Thanks in advance.
import os
os.system('GMT_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/conda/envs/pygmt/lib')
import pygmt
fig = pygmt.Figure()
fig.basemap(region=["-90.00", "-70.00", "0.00", "20.00"], projection="M8i", frame=True)
fig.coast(shorelines=True)
fig.show()
fig.savefig('123.png')
I also tried using regions as [-90,-70,0,20] and error is still there.
Error Message:
psconvert [ERROR]: Cannot execute Ghostscript (gs).
