I made a Debian/Ubuntu package for Mapnik v0.6.1. There’s a 32-bit and 64-bit package. I’ve only tested it on Ubuntu 9.04, but it will probably work on Debian.

To install it download the package and type:

sudo dpkg -i mapnik_0.6.1-1_i386.deb

Then when it complains about dependencies, type:

sudo apt-get install -f

To install all the dependencies and finish the install. Sorry I don’t have a repository to put this package in.

I think if you use GDebi Installer it will do everything in one step.

Note: There are lots of dependencies (~500MB on a clean Ubuntu alternate install), I used those listed here. I tried removing all the -dev packages and anything else that looked like it was just for compiling, but it didn’t work.

UPDATE: I’ve also made an osm2pgsql package from the latest subversion copy. Download it here.

Enjoy
