After that, we significantly improved the installation process and as
far as we know, the last release (March 2010, RL version 2.4) worked
well with easy_install and so on.   Also, if you happen to be on
Ubuntu or a Debian distro, "apt-get install reportlab" seems to work
fine these days too.

The next release is due out literally in the next couple of days.  So,
please just try it; if it doesn't work with the version on PyPI, try a
daily build (available on our site); and if there are any issues then
please let us know ASAP.   Internally we've been testing things like
including it in pip_requirements files.

Best Regards,
