The processed_p and shoreline_300 files are updated every few weeks and can be downloaded from this location: http://tile.openstreetmap.org/processed_p.tar.bz2 http://tile.openstreetmap.org/shoreline_300.tar.bz2 > Does the shapeindex need to be updated with any frequency? No, the index should only need to be generated once for each shapefile and only updated if the shapefile is changed. The archives at the URLs above already include the index files and they should not need to be updated. If they do, then this suggests something in the index is platform specific, maybe some 32 vs 64 bit issue or an endian problem. Or maybe a newer mapnik version has changed the format slightly. Let me know if you run into a problem with the archives above and I'll investigate further.
