[reportlab-users] Installing RenderPm on OSX

[Dev Sen]

Robin,

Two follow on questions:

1) Do you know how I can restrict the build to only use the python version
on a specific path...

2) Any suggestions on resolving the second issue you identified, i.e.
Finding the freetype library at runtime?

Thanks for your help,

Dev
