Build notes specific to older versions of Ubuntu

See UbuntuInstallation for build notes for the latest version.

Ubuntu Lucid (10.04)

Karmic has Mapnik packages for 0.7.0, so you can either install Mapnik from packages or source.

Packages are available in the 'universe' repositories so make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list has the below lines:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe

Install from packages

#!sh
sudo apt-get install python-cairo libmapnik0.7 mapnik-utils python-mapnik

Note: then you will likely want to install Postgres 8.4 + PostGIS 1.4 (see below)

Install Mapnik from source

Set up

#!sh
# get a build environment going...
sudo apt-get install -y g++ cpp \
libboost1.40-dev libboost-filesystem1.40-dev \
libboost-iostreams1.40-dev libboost-program-options1.40-dev \
libboost-python1.40-dev libboost-regex1.40-dev \
libboost-thread1.40-dev \
python-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev \
libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev \
libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev \
libltdl7 libltdl-dev \
libpng12-0 libpng12-dev \
libgeotiff-dev libtiff4 libtiff4-dev libtiffxx0c2 \
libcairo2 libcairo2-dev python-cairo python-cairo-dev \
libcairomm-1.0-1 libcairomm-1.0-dev \
ttf-unifont ttf-dejavu ttf-dejavu-core ttf-dejavu-extra \
subversion build-essential python-nose

# also a bug in cairomm requires manually grabbing libsigc++:
# https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairomm/+bug/452733
sudo apt-get install libsigc++-dev libsigc++0c2 libsigx-2.0-2 libsigx-2.0-dev

# install plugin dependencies
sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev python-gdal \
postgresql-8.4 postgresql-server-dev-8.4 postgresql-contrib-8.4 postgresql-8.4-postgis \
libsqlite3-dev

Then compile and install Mapnik

For instructions on compiling trunk (aka Mapnik2) see: wiki:Mapnik2

#!sh
svn co http://svn.mapnik.org/tags/release-0.7.1/ mapnik
cd mapnik
python scons/scons.py configure INPUT_PLUGINS=all OPTIMIZATION=3 SYSTEM_FONTS=/usr/share/fonts/
python scons/scons.py
sudo python scons/scons.py install

Then run:

#!sh
$ sudo ldconfig

To test mapnik:

#!python
$ Python
>>> import mapnik
>>>

No output is good.

Ubuntu Karmic (9.10)

Karmic has Mapnik packages for 0.6.1, so you can either install Mapnik from packages or source.

Packages are available in the 'universe' repositories so make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list has the below lines:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic universe deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates universe

Install from packages

#!sh
sudo apt-get install python-cairo libmapnik0.6 mapnik-utils python-mapnik

Note: then you will likely want to install Postgres 8.4 + PostGIS 1.4 (see below)

Install Mapnik from source

Set up

#!sh
# get a build environment going...
sudo apt-get install -y g++ cpp \
libboost1.40-dev libboost-filesystem1.40-dev \
libboost-iostreams1.40-dev libboost-program-options1.40-dev \

libcairo2 libcairo2-dev python-cairo python-cairo-dev \
libcairomm-1.0-1 libcairomm-1.0-dev \
ttf-dejavu ttf-dejavu-core ttf-dejavu-extra \
subversion build-essential python-nose

# also a bug in cairomm requires manually grabbing libsigc++:
# https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairomm/+bug/452733
sudo apt-get install libsigc++-dev libsigc++0c2 libsigx-2.0-2 libsigx-2.0-dev

# install plugin dependencies
sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev python-gdal \
postgresql-8.4 postgresql-server-dev-8.4 postgresql-contrib-8.4 \
libsqlite3-dev

# note, the postgis package is not available for postgres-8.4, so install it from source...
wget http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-1.4.0.tar.gz
tar xzf postgis-1.4.0.tar.gz
cd postgis-1.4.0
./configure && make && sudo make install

Then compile and install Mapnik

#!sh
svn co http://svn.mapnik.org/tags/release-0.7.1/ mapnik
cd mapnik
python scons/scons.py configure INPUT_PLUGINS=all OPTIMIZATION=3 SYSTEM_FONTS=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/
python scons/scons.py
sudo python scons/scons.py install

To test mapnik:

#!python
$ Python
>>> import mapnik
>>>

No output is good. If you get errors about missing libs make sure 'usr/local/lib' is in /etc/ld.so.conf:

#!sh $ more /etc/ld.so.conf

if /usr/local/lib is not with that file try:

$ echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf

ldconfig
Note: If your system is 64 bit, then /etc/ld.so.conf should include /usr/local/lib64 instead of /usr/local/lib

#!sh $ more /etc/ld.so.conf

if /usr/local/lib is not with that file try:

$ echo "/usr/local/lib64" >> /etc/ld.so.conf $ sudo ldconfig
Note: Ubuntu version >= (8.10) should already have /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/, so try:

#!sh more /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf

This works with the default python-2.6 on jaunty:
