Description of problem: Trying to use mapnik, I got this error: proj_init_error:failed to initialize projection with:+init=epsg:4326 According to http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/InstallationTroubleshooting#Proj_init_error this is caused by wrong install of proj4 Doing simply "yum install proj-epsg" fixed the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mapnik-0.7.1-6.fc14 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install mapnik, set up your environment according to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapnik 2. generate_image.py Actual results: proj_init_error:failed to initialize projection with:+init=epsg:4326 the generated image.png is blank (all white) Expected results: no error, image.png shows the map Additional info: I'm not 100% sure that working with epsg codes is a must for all possible usages of mapnik ... however, if local setup for rendering OpenStreetMap data, which uses it by default, is the typical usage of mapnik, then it is a bit strange that it doesn't work out of the box.
Will try to add in the 0.7.2. update.
This dependency has been added in f17/rawhide with the update to mapnik 2.0.0. Unlikely to get fixed in f14, now that it is EOL.
