[Qgis-user] Re: Qgis-user Digest, Vol 67, Issue 1

Wed Aug 31 23:18:11 PDT 2011

WRT Message 2 and the Profile from line tool I also had a problem  
using this plugin. I am running Mac OSx ver 10.5.8. I have installed  
QGIS and Python and the other suggested package installers. I found  
the shapely tool and downloaded it tried to install but had no joy.  
Used the Python 3.2 tool to try do that. Any ideas or help would be  
greatly appreciated.
