[OSGeo-Discuss] Is Mapnik working on OSGeo Live?

[Cameron Shorter]

Dane,
Testing on OSGeo-Live reports that Mapnik is not working, but I suspect 
that we just have poor test steps.
Could you please help us ASAP to resolve this, which probably would 
involve updating test steps or quickstart, or including a config file or 
similar during the build.
We hang out at irc://freenode.net#osgeolive

I just tried running the fist python steps here:
http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/4.0-rc6/osgeolive-docs/quickstart/mapnik_quickstart.html
(I copied verbatum, and get
NameError: name 'render_to_file' not defined

The QuickStart should assume no prior knowledge, or prior configuration 
of OSGeo Live. Either include all plugins and configuration files into 
the DVD, or describe the detailed steps required to get the extra 
plugins/config files, or don't include the steps in the QuickStart.
