Configuring, compiling links, installing:

# For the development branch:

git clone https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik mapnik-2.3.x - b 2.3.x

cd mapnik-2.3.x

. /configure && make && sudo make install

The process of make is a long time, about 40 minutes. . . .

I encountered a ternal compiler error :killed (program cc1plus) error

After checking the Internet, some people said that the memory is not enough, my memory configuration was 512M, changed to 2g.

Run make again, the result is wrong:

vitrual memory exhausted cannot allocate memory

Seeing this error, there is still some feeling, memory is not enough to add. But I didn't add it, but run make again, and make all the way. The remaining make install is fine.

Enter the command to see if it is installed successfully:

mapnik-config -v

I output my version number: 2.3.0-pre

The above is the introduction of the Ubuntu installation of the Mapnik toolkit. At the time of installation, the old one will be uninstalled. After installation, you can use the mapnik-config -v command to check whether the installation is successful.
