RenderPM is an optional dependency for RL, which itself requires 
FreeType2 - during install the script should announce if it has been 
found or not.  You'll need to install FreeType2 (and the -devel) and 
reinstall RL.  Without more details on your environment I can't be more 
specific, though if you're on a Mac, the posts of the last couple of 
days should be very useful as it's been fully detailed.

As with all such things Google Is Your Friend [i.e. 
"site:two.pairlist.net reportlab install"].  Someone, in the last couple 
of months, posted a specialised search provider for mailing lists - 
though without a searchable archive it'll be hard to find....
