I have managed to install mapnik 0.4, 0.5, 0.5.1 and various SVN releases in-between on Ubuntu. While this isn't in itself exciting, I think I manage to stumble at every installation. I typically forget to add the flags when building, so, to prevent myself from stumbling again, I'm going to write them out here.
Build mapnik$ python scons/scons.py PYTHON=/usr/bin/python \
PGSQL_INCLUDES=/usr/include/postgresql \
PGSQL_LIBS=/usr/lib/postgresql BOOST_INCLUDES=/usr/include/boost BOOST_LIBS=/usr/lib
Then install it
$ sudo python scons/scons.py install PYTHON=/usr/bin/python \
PGSQL_INCLUDES=/usr/include/postgresql \
PGSQL_LIBS=/usr/lib/postgresql BOOST_INCLUDES=/usr/include/boost BOOST_LIBS=/usr/lib
Then proceed as normal.

No problem Matt, I'll possibly post some more details about installing mapnik+postgis+mod_tile on an Ubuntu box, but I'll have to finish dong it first:)
Hi Kev,
I'm the designbuildtestrepeat.wordpress.com guy. I'm glad to see that you are working on Mapnik (and OSM?). I've just committed to giving a talk next month on the use of AWS for map creation so I need to bone up on all that stuff again. It's good to have another resource to refer to
Regards
Diarmuid

Just got back from Japan and found a truck hit my car. No note, but my neighbor wrote down their rego. (about 1 week ago)

Thank you for this. Been thinking about installing Mapnik and this will help a lot.
