[reportlab-users] Problems installing Reportlab

[Christopher Brewster]

It is 2.6 downloaded from Python.org
I thought that is what one is supposed to do (use the latest  
version ....)

There does seem to be a problem with PIL and 2.6 though. I am about to  
query the Image-SIG.

Doubt it.  I build ReportLab from source on my Mac pretty much every day
-- as you say, it's pretty much UNIX.

Note that the OP is using some other flavor of Python -- it's 2.6, and
2.5 is what OS X 10.5 comes with.  Looks like a third-party Python, not
the one that ships with the Mac.  Maybe it's built wrong.
