Thanks for the added details Philip. If changing the render method fixed the problem then that may not be the bug I previously mentioned.
I'm running a beta release of 9.10 and have not seen this problem, but I will try to get the release going to test further. It would be great if you could provide the output of: $ apt-cache show python-mapnik Thanks, Dane On Nov 1, 2009, at 1:13 PM, Philip Stubbs wrote: > 2009/11/1 Philip Stubbs <[email protected]>: >> Hi all, >> >> I am new hear but I don't know where else to look.
