[reportlab-users] Reportlab compiling in Linux - Problem fixed!

[David Frank]

Hi Andy and All,

The problem was fixed....finally!!! :-)

It was all in the setup.py program of the renderPM folder in the 
rl_addons. The code inside had the location /usr/location/lib for the 
location of the library files. But, in the 64-bit machine that I use, the 
location is usr/lib64. Another change was that the location of freetype is 
also different. It is /usr/include and not /usr/local/include (this folder 
is empty). I dont know if this change is because my machine is 64-bit or 
because of the operating system that is used, CentOS.

So once I made the changes: 

/usr/local/lib ==> /usr/lib64
/usr/local/include ==> /usr/include

and then followed the instruction in Uwe's and Andy's mail, everything 
worked fine. I am able to generate graphical images without a glitch.

I think I should write all the steps in detail in another post to the 
community for the benefit of those searching with the keywords, "64-bit" 
and/or "CentOS".

I do not know how to thank all of those who stepped in to help me. I truly 
appreciate your efforts. Thank you very very much for your replies.

Best Regards,

David Frank
