[osgeo4w-dev] MapFish setup: conflict with simplejson 2.0.5

[Lucena, Ivan]

Hi there,

Selecting MapFish, OSGeo4W installer just creates folders with several installers on:

E:\OSGeo4W\apps\mapfish_framework-1.0\scripts
E:\OSGeo4W\apps\mapfish_framework-1.0\site-packages

Besides that I believe you are on your own. Is that right?

But I found instructions on how to install MapFish on a OSGeo4W environment at:

http://www.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/HowToInstallMapFishServerFrameworkInOsgeo4w

That doesn't look to be in sync with current settings on the installer. It doesn't use the downloaded installer from 
'apps\mapfish_framework-1.0' but it downloads from the MapFish trunk. Developer-instruction != User-Instruction of 
course.

But following the instructions I got stuck on that error:

--

I tried easy_install with "-D" to delete conflictings packages but that didn't help.

Does anybody have a clue of what would be the solution for that?

Regards,

Ivan
