INSTALLATION OF MAPNIK ON PCLinuxOS
PREPARATORY STEPS Make sure you have gcc41 and python 2.4 installed (Use Synaptic to install everything to do with python that is not purely to support other packages). Make sure your /etc//ld.so.conf has a line reading: /usr/local/lib Use Synaptic to install the following dependencies: * libpng * libjpeg * libtiff * libz * (Optional) PostgreSQL libraries (For PostGIS support) * Python 1.5.2 or greater to build Mapnik * (Optional) Python 2.4 or greater for the Python language bindings You will need to get these dependencies yourself: * proj4 from http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ I used proj-4.4.7.tar.gz * libfreetype2 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/ I used release 2.3.5, the current file is freetype-2.3.7.tar.gz You will also need to install these 2 packages yourself. (ie: make a directory, download to directory, untar with tar -xvf <filename>, change to version directory, ./configure, make, make install, ldconfig). Once the dependencies are in place Boost and Mapnik can be installed. INSTALLING BOOST 1.35.0 Mapnik 0.5.1 may work with other versions of boost than 1.35.0 but 1.34 and 1.36 did not work for me. 1. Clean out any previous boost installation either with synaptic or, better still, by deleting all /usr/lib/libboost* and /usr/local/lib/libboost* /usr/include/boost and any other directories called "boost*". 2. Remove any failed Mapnik installs while you are cleaning out boost: delete any previous mapnik build directories (like /usr/lib/mapnik) and delete mapnik folders and files from /usr/local/include and /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mapnik and get rid of /usr/local/lib/libmapnik* 3. Download the boost 1.35 source from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=boost&filename=boost_1_35_0.tar.bz2&use_mirror=switch 4. Make a boost directory: cd /usr/lib md boost cd boost 5. Copy the boost source into the boost directory. 6 Untar it: tar -xvjf boost_1_35_0.tar.bz2 7. cd boost_1_35_0 8. ./configure 9. Now make the boost files (this can take a long time). Use: make install 10. Activate the libraries with: ldconfig 11. Make symbolic links by copying and pasting the following lines on to the terminal command line: ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_date_time-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_date_time-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_graph-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_graph-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_iostreams-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_iostreams-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_c99f-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_c99f-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_c99-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_c99-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_c99l-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_c99l-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_tr1f-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_tr1f-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_tr1-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_tr1-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_tr1l-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_math_tr1l-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_prg_exec_monitor-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_prg_exec_monitor-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_program_options-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_program_options-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_python-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_python-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_regex-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_regex-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_serialization-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_serialization-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_signals-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_signals-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_system-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_system-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_thread-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_wave-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_wave-mt.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboost_wserialization-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_wserialization-mt.so 12. Activate the libraries with: ldconfig INSTALLING MAPNIK 1. Download Mapnik 0.5.1 2. Make a Mapnik directory cd /usr/lib md mapnik cd mapnik 3. copy mapnik_src-0.5.1.tar.gz into /usr/lib/mapnik 4. Untar the mapnik source: tar -xvf mapnik_src-0.5.1.tar.gz 5. Change to the installation directory: cd mapnik-0.5.1 6. Install mapnik, specifying the location of your PostgreSQL if you are using it and the location of your boost headers and libraries, notice that boost headers will have installed in "versioned" directories: python scons/scons.py PYTHON=/usr/bin/python PGSQL_INCLUDES=/usr/local/pgsql/include PGSQL_LIBS=/usr/local/pgsql/include BOOST_INCLUDES=/usr/local/include/boost-1_35 BOOST_LIBS=/usr/local/lib If the build is OK install the files with: python scons/scons.py install PYTHON=/usr/bin/python PGSQL_INCLUDES=/usr/local/pgsql/include PGSQL_LIBS=/usr/local/pgsql/include BOOST_INCLUDES=/usr/local/include/boost-1_35 BOOST_LIBS=/usr/local/lib 7. Activate libraries: ldconfig 8. Test the installation by entering: Python 9. At the Python prompt type: from mapnik import * There should be no error messages! ie: Python 2.4.3 (#2, Aug 16 2008, 12:04:04) [GCC 4.1.1 20060724 (prerelease) (4.1.1-4pclos2007)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from mapnik import * >>> >>> (Use Ctrl-D to exit from Python). 10. For the final confirmation go to http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/GettingStarted You will need to download a "shape" file to do the example. Download to the desktop: http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/sample_data/world_borders.zip You should have: /root/Desktop/world_borders.zip unzip /root/Desktop/world_borders.zip inflating: world_borders.dbf inflating: world_borders.prj inflating: world_borders.shp inflating: world_borders.shx The shape file is entered in the example without the extension as : lyr.datasource = Shapefile(file='/root/Desktop/world_borders')
