install on Ubuntu Karmic

[Peter Busai]

Hi,

I successfully used Mapnik on Ubuntu 9.4. Lately I upgraded to 9.10.
During update there was a complain about python-mapnic package.
I just reinstalled this and libmapnik0.6 packeges.
Testing in python:
 >>> import mapnik
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/mapnik/__init__.py", line 54, in
<module>
from _mapnik import *
ImportError: libicudata.so.38: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
 >>>

and yes, there are only libicuXXX.so.40 files in Karmic
libicu38 is not available in this release. Should I create symlinks?

Building from source did not work either:
$python scons/scons.py
{...}

-DHAVE_PYCAIRO -ansi -Wall -pthread -ftemplate-depth-100 -DLINUX

Hi Peter,

Should you be using 0.6.1 ?

Same here, there seems to be a problem with the dependencies.

I was able to compile 0.61. I just had minor troubles with the Boost
installation. Did you run configure before and did it report any missing
  libraries?

Thanks,

That was not enough. I had to remove the whole mapnik dir and do a
checkout again.
Configure, build and install done without errors,
and then:

Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Nov  2 2009, 14:38:03)
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import mapnik
Problem loading plugin library: /usr/local/lib/mapnik/input/sqlite.input
(libtool error: file not found)

Peter, this is just a problem compiling the KISMET plugin.

Edit the 'config.py' in your source directory and remove 'kismet' from  
the list of INPUT_PLUGINS

Dennis,

What problems did you run into with the boost libraries?

Yup, sqlite lite might be the dependency that broke in the Karmic  
Upgrade.

Note that this error is not fatal it just means that Mapnik can't use  
SQLite datasources, and "not found" actually means that the library  
was found but will not work likely because of linking errors.

But  all you need to do to fix the error is re-install (so that plugin  
will get overwritten with a new working one- that is linked  
correctly), or just remove it:

sudo rm /usr/local/lib/mapnik/input/sqlite.input

Then '>>> import mapnik'  should work without complaining.

Denis, okay thanks, right now I remember now how this issue appears  
due to packaging changes... http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/438 and http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/351

I was caught up in a long battle to get the mapnik packages working on  
Karmic (which use Boost 1.38) and lost track of this one.

Needs patch so I guess so folks that build trunk on new ubuntu  
versions will have smoother sailing, and perhaps a backport to 0.6.2.

Thanks Dane. That did it.
