[reportlab-users] problems building reportlab 2.5 on Python2.6 SUSE 11

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

While trying to fix the platypus tadle width problem I'm having, I 
thought I'd try and install reportab 2.5 to see if it made a difference 
and got the following:

Has anyone seen this before? Maybe a 64 bit issue?

cheers,

Chris
