Ops! Should have said that I am running Ubuntu 9.10, I installed python-mapnik and Postgres from the Ubuntu repositories, and followed the set-up guide from the openstreetmap wiki. Now I have made a copy of the generate_image.py script and changed it to use mapnik.render_to_file, and it has just successfully rendered an image of the UK. This is going to be of more use to me than the tiles, so I think I am sorted. Still, it would be good to know why the one method works when the other does not. I may in the future want a local tile server. -- Philip Stubbs _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
