[reportlab-users] Install Problems

[Peter Mott]

For Windows you need to use a pre-built installer (there is a link on 
http://www.reportlab.org/downloads.html). For Linux download the 
package, extract it into a temporary folder and change to that folder 
where you'll see a file setup.py. Run 'python setup.py install' . Both 
ways put reportlab in  <path to python>/lib/site-packages/reportlab. 
Python puts all extra packages in site-packages.
