[reportlab-users] easy_install problem?

[Sam]

Hello everyone,

I having problems install reportlab using easy_install - this is a
production server so I'd like to be sure of the correct way of doing
it before I proceed. I can't apt-get install python-reportlab as I'm
on Debian lenny (5.0 ) and reportlab is at version 2.1
(http://packages.debian.org/lenny/python-reportlab) whereas I need
version 2.2+ for Pisa (xhtml2pdf) .

Can anyone suggest how to navigate this problem.

Many thanks in advance.

Sam
