Hi Claire, I too find that default installation location for mapnik curious. I'm not sure whether is is due to the scons build process for darwin or something with apple's python setup.
Either way on 10.5 (which I am running as well), that site-packages directory buried in the frameworks is not on my default path. To be able to import mapnik you'll either need to say: export PYTHONPATH= /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ (and tuck that in your ~/.bash_profile) or perhaps more cleanly, create a symlink from a site-packages directory that is on your PYTHONPATH. For me this works: sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/ lib/python2.5/site-packages/mapnik /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/ mapnik since /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/ is on my PYTHONPATH or drag the mapnik folder to a location on your pythonpath while holding option-command Hope that gets you going, Dane On Apr 17, 2008, at 11:59 AM, Claire McLister wrote: > Thanks, Ken-ichi.
