my mapnik is installed in /home/iwlearn3

with the libraries in /home/iwlearn3/lib64
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/iwlearn3/lib:/home/iwlearn3/lib64

any pointers?

If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left,
you will also automatically save the physical environment, too. But If
you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both.

1) Don’t drive species to extinction

2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on.

3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above.

Your Mapnik version is likely too new. Windshaft is pinned against a version of node-mapnik (javascript bindings to mapnik) that expects the 2.0.0 be available.

If you are wondering, TileMill however tracks the latest tag of node-mapnik, which itself tracks mapnik master, which makes running cartodb alongside TileMill not feasible on the same machine.

I'd like to avoid this problem in the future - which would require getting a Mapnik 2.1 release in the wild and this is on target for the next month or so - at that time hopefully both Cartodb and TileMill (and other apps using node-mapnik) will be able to pin against the 2.1.0 release.

HEy Dane,

Thanks for the response. Yes, CartoDB only works with Mapnik 2.0.0

Yes, we will do our best to upgrade to 2.1 when it becomes available.

[Christian Ledermann]

right the installation succeeds with mapnik 2.0.1


A few hints when installing mapnik into your $HOME (i.e when you do not have
root access on your machine):

set:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib:$HOME/lib64

before you install mapnik (on a 64 bit linux)

If you already have boost installed with a package manager and mapnik
is fine with that version do NOT try to install a newer version from source,
that will give you a lot of headaches!

mapniks

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME

will sometimes ignore the prefix and still try to install it in
/usr/local anyway
check with

$ ./configure --help

that is has the right install path and finds the right python before you run

$ make install


thanks for your help :)

HI,

 I installed mapnik-2.0 according to instructions here

 https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/UbuntuInstallation  

basically,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mapnik/nightly-2.0

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libmapnik mapnik-utils python-mapnik

and I am getting a similar error,

should I get mapnik-2.0.0 and install from source?

 thanks for your help,

Alberto

I am also seeing the same error in trying to setup CartoDB 2.0. I am using mapnik 2.0.2. What can I do?

You need node-0.8+ to use Windshaft-CartoDB.
Update node or try the `node0.4` branch (unrecommended).

I am using node 0.8.15. 

Side note: CartoDB's README dumbly says that it will only work with node versions 0.4 <= x < 0.5: https://github.com/Vizzuality/cartodb

In that case I suggest you ask on the mapnik mailing list or tracker
as that's the component that was failing to install (reading the
error log).

Thanks for pointing that out. CartoDB component itself actually doesn't
need node at all. I guess the correct fix here would be to simply report
that CartoDB depends on Windshaft-CartoDB and CartoDB-SQL-API and leave
install instructions for them to their own.

[Travis Webb]

Yes I think that would be better. It's very confusing to say "install node 0.4.11", and then in the next step it say "ok, now install node 0.8.x"
