can't install on Centos 7 #146

Open JulieGoldberg opened 7 years ago

I'm unable to install the library after downloading it. I tried in and out of a virtualenv. It might be that I need plain mapnik installed first, but I had troubles doing that too.

I have everything working fine on Ubuntu, but I need to shift to Centos 7 for various reasons, and Mapnik is proving to be problematic there.

Thanks in advance.

I was trying these old instructions for a Centos build of plain mapnik, not python mapnik. https://gist.github.com/springmeyer/3427021 I have an issue posted there about the problems doing so.
