hi,
Dane, thanks for tipping me off to the possibility that boost 1.36 may not work
with mapnik-0.5.1 on PCLinuxOS. This indeed seems to be the case. I went to
Boost 1.35.0 (>= 1.35 is a requirement for Mapnik according to the INSTALL
guide - I tried 1.34 earlier and could not get it to work). I ensured that
"ldconfig" was used after each install and managed to get "from mapnik import
*" to work in Python.
I am now doing further tests. Incidently you are right, /etc/ld.so.conf is a
problem in PCLinuxOS - I spent a couple of hours a few months ago discovering
this. When I have finished testing I will write up the install procedure for
PCLinuxOS and mention little traps like
ld.so.conf.

also wonder if you have run ldconfig (with /usr/local/lib in your
ld.so.conf - which is

is also the possibility that a change in boost 1.36 could be the
