Dane, Ludwig:

Once again, thanks again for your help. I'm proud to say I was finally able to get mapnik installed! :-)

I ended up making a number of adjustments to get it installed and working on one of my servers, which is a Plesk-controlled RHEL 5 environment. Here were the steps I ended up taking: Modified /etc/ld.so.conf so that the /usr/local/lib directory was listed FIRST. I don't totally understand how ld interacts with the gcc compiler, but the ldconfig -v output would pick up /usr/lib modules prior to finding the /usr/local/lib modules. Updated the 'LIBS' PathVariable references in SConstruct for the icu, png, jpeg, tiff, and proj requirements. I had to remove the references to the LIBDIR_SCHEMA variable and point the PathVariable at the install directory for each of the files. Otherwise it was questionable if the configure step would find those header files. Comment out the reference to the shapeindex plugin. I never could get it to compile. I ended up abandoning my efforts to get the 0.6.1 branch installed, so these steps were taken against the 0.7 branch. These three adjustments allowed me to install mapnik and generate a successful test via Python. Now on the fun business of moving mapnik into production.

Thanks again for the help.  It's most appreciated.

Thomas


Brilliant Thomas!

Great that you got it working, and thanks very much for following up. Next time I work on the SCons scripts I will try to make step #2 above easier to configure from the command line.

Cheers,

Dane
