Installing Mapnik on Ubuntu 7.10

Published on April 19, 2008

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.
