Release 0.5.1
Hello all, I'm pleased to announce 0.5.1 release.
This is a minor bugfix release; it is a recommended upgrade for users of 0.5.0. This release includes the following changes:
- builds with GCC 4.3
- re-enables regex support, which was inadvertently disabled in 0.5.0
- add better error handling to shapeindex
- support ppc64 builds
- fix division by zero error in placement_finder.cpp with multiple loops
Big thanks to Dominic Hargreaves for making it happen!

Hello, I can't get it running on SuSE 10.3 When I run scons.py I get the error message: "Could not find header or shared library for boost filesystem." Boost is installed.
Try using BOOST_INCLUDES=... and BOOST_LIBS=.. (and possibly BOOST_TOOLKIT) . Better discussing this on mapnik-users. HTH
I had a similar problem on CentOS 5.1 (RHEL 5 clone). The distribution's boost libraries are not named in accordance with the boost getting started guide, but as system libraries, i.e. boost_filesystem.so, instead of boost_filesystem-mt* (-mt for multi-threaded). I went through all of the SConscript files that contained the pattern 'thread_suffix' and changed that from '-mt' to ''.
When will another stable release arrive that includes the fixes to the WMS server?
I have been trying to install Mapnik 0.5.1 on a pclinuxos system. The boost_filesystem-mt step falls over. [root@localhost mapnik]# python scons/scons.py PYTHON=/usr/bin/python PGSQL_INCLUDES=/usr/local/pgsql/include PGSQL_LIBS=/usr/local/pgsql/include BOOST_INCLUDES=/usr/include/boost BOOST_LIBS=/usr/lib scons: Reading SConscript files ...

I have tried symbolic linking and have the link files in /usr/lib along with the originals: [root@localhost lib]# dir libboost_filesystem* libboost_filesystem.a libboost_filesystem-mt.so.1.34.1 libboost_filesystem-mt.a libboost_filesystem.so libboost_filesystem-mt.so libboost_filesystem.so.1.34.1 I have tried manually going to boost 1.36 and the latest gcc version, boost compiles fine but I get the same problem with Mapnik. I tried the code fix in the c++.py but this did not work either. It seems crazy that Mapnik refuses to find boost whatever I do. Steve
