You'll need an ogr/gdal library built with mysql support. You should test this FIRST before getting mapnik going. Then if your ogr/gdal does have mysql support, then you should be good to go if you compile the Mapnik OGR plugin. > And if so, is there something obviously wrong about what I'm doing? > > Thanks for any insights you might have, > > Jeff > _______________________________________________ > Mapnik-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
