[Qgis-user] quantumnik - mapnik on OS X

[Mike Swope]

I seem to have got it working.

I'm on snow leopard, and it's python 2.6.2

In the mapnik installer readme, it says install one or both of the python
packages after installing the frameworks. Are the packages supposed to be
2.5 and 2.6? Well both are 2.6, one for Library and the other system.

I just reinstalled the frameworks, then just the system package, and after
that the plugin installed without error.

I'll have to take a look at this when I get some time, perhaps friday.

Thanks.
