It looks like line #42 (http://trac.mapnik.org/browser/tags/release-0.7.1/demo/viewer/main.cpp#L42) should be either std::string mapnik_dir = "/usr/lib"; or std::string mapnik_dir = "/usr/lib64"; depending on architecture and line 44 (http://trac.mapnik.org/browser/tags/release-0.7.1/demo/viewer/main.cpp#L44) should be datasource_cache::instance()->register_datasources(mapnik_dir + "/mapnik/input"); I'm about to update to 0.7.2. It might be fixed there, if not, I'll try to roll a patch. I'm considering updating to 2.0.0, at least for rawhide/f17. The only issue is that gpsdrive hasn't yet been ported to the mapnik 2 API. I have updated to 2.0.0 in rawhide, and will probably switch to that in f16, f15 later. Now that f14 is EOL, it's not going to get fixed here, closing. If this is still an issue in f15+, feel free to re-open. |
Description of problem: the viewer application in mapnik-utils is looking in the wrong place for plugins. It should be looking in '/usr/lib64/mapnik/input/' (on a 64-bit Fedora) but is rather looking in '/opt/mapnik/lib/mapnik/input/' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ver 0.7.1 rel 6.fc14 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. viewer <some mapnik XML file>.xml 2. 3. Actual results: $ viewer nm_gmu.xml loading nm_gmu.xml Could not create datasource. No plugin found for type 'shape' (encountered during parsing of layer 'World') Expected results: successful load my mapnik map Additional info: $ strace viewer nm_gmu.xml 2>&1 | egrep mapnik/input stat("/opt/mapnik/lib/mapnik/input", 0x7fffdc405c20) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) A quick hack fix is as follows 1) mkdir -p /opt/mapnik/lib 2) ln -ns ln -ns /usr/lib64/mapnik /opt/mapnik/lib
