[mapserver-users] Installing on Debian Lenny

[Peter]

The procedure for installing mapnik sounds complicated.  

http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/DebianInstallation

My hesitations:
- needs to be production stable.
- is the 0.5 or so version in lenny workable at all?
- do i really need post gres,(we are running mysql)
- no experience with software installation without package management

Thoughts, comforting noises etc welcome.
