That problem would be directly solved at build time without any change to sources. In Debian it is managed by a binNMU, I don't think it is different in Ubuntu. But for that mapnik is currently not under DebianGis umbrella, but individually maintained by -- Dominic Hargreaves <[email protected]> Mon, 19 Oct 2009 23:28:32 +0100 As you can see, it is not updated since a few months, I'd suggest you to contact him by email and verify what are his programs about the package. Possibly moving to team maintainance too. It'd be nice having it under the common d-gis repositories to improve team maintainance and avoid singletons ;-) -- Francesco P.
