Hi I'm looking at installing mapnik2 using `easy_install mapnik2` or `pip install mapnik2`. I've given it a try tonight, but failed. Here's what I did:
Install some development packages for my Ubuntu distro: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mapnik/nightly-2.0 $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install mapnik-utils libboost-python1.42-dev libmapnik-dev Create a virtualenv (I use virtualenvwrapper): $ mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute mapnik2 And install mapnik2 in the virtualenv: (mapnik2)$ easy_install mapnik2 This gives me: Exception: Cant find boost_python lib! This is because pymapnik2's setup.py script looks for libboost_python.so, which does not exist for me. To fix that I've used this: $ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libboost_python-py26.so.1.42.0 /usr/lib/libboost_python.so I don't like it, but this has allowed me to go a bit further. The next error - the one that's actually blocking me - is a compilation error: cpp/mapnik_text_symbolizer.cpp: In function ‘void export_text_symbolizer()’: cpp/mapnik_text_symbolizer.cpp:171: error: ‘TOP’ was not declared in this scope cpp/mapnik_text_symbolizer.cpp:172: error: ‘MIDDLE’ was not declared in this scope cpp/mapnik_text_symbolizer.cpp:173: error: ‘BOTTOM’ was not declared in this scope error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 Altough not sure, I think I get this error because of a mismatch between the mapnik header files (installed by libmapnik-dev package) and the mapnik cpp source code included in the Python package. The Python package is mapnik2-2.0-r2615.tar.gz from http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/m/mapnik2/, which I'm not sure what it is exactly. Is there any know solution to my problem? Are there other people installing, or trying to install, mapnik2 using easy_install/pip/disutils? I'd appreciate any insight or recommendation.
