Sorry to keep posting on this. I made significant progress and am hung up on something else now. Almost there! :)
I installed icu: (OK): sudo port install icu Then ran the following: (OK): sudo bjam --with-regex toolset=darwin -sHAVE_ICU=1 -sICU_PATH=/opt/local -a install Then this: (OK): python scons/scons.py configure DEBUG=True INPUT_PLUGINS='all' Here's where the problem occurred: (FAIL): python scons/scons.py install DEBUG=y ... local/lib/postgresql83 -lagg -lfreetype -lltdl -lpng -ltiff -lz -ljpeg -lproj -licuuc -lboost_filesystem -lboost_regex -lcairomm-1.0 -lcairo -lxml2 -lboost_thread -lboost_system Install file: "src/libmapnik.dylib" as "/usr/local/lib/libmapnik.dylib" scons: *** [/usr/local/lib/libmapnik.dylib] /usr/local/lib/libmapnik.dylib: Permission denied scons: building terminated because of errors. I didn't see the file there, so could there be a folder permissions issue? Also, I will try to install the following optional dependencies: ... Note: will build without these optional dependencies: - ociei - rasterlite - pycairo ... Thanks again for your advise!
