+# Installing Mapnik on Suse
+
+One old guide for trunk is here:  http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/mapnik-users/2010-January/002810.html
+
+But you should install the latest Mapnik release as trunk requires a more recent version of boost.

+
+ * Mount the SDK ISO number 1 (SLE-11-SDK-DVD-x86_64-GM-Media1.iso)
+
+ * In YaST2, make sure to enable "Search in" -> "File list" and search for "gcc".
+
+ * Make sure these packages are checked (otherwise Boost will not be found during the scons configure stage of Mapnik installation):
+
+  * 'boost-devel'
+  * 'cpp43'
+  * 'gcc'
+  * 'gcc43'
+  * 'gcc43-c++'
+  * 'gcc-c++'
+  * 'libgcc43'
+
+ * As root, issue the following:
+
+```
+    $ zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/SLE_11/ "Geo"
+    $ zypper refresh
+    $ zypper install libjpeg-devel libtiff-devel libpng-devel boost-devel python-cairo-devel 
+    $ zypper install cairomm-devel libicu-devel libtool libxml2-devel libproj0 libproj-devel 
+    $ zypper install subversion
+```

+Still as root:
+
+```
+    $ cd && mkdir src && cd src
+    $ git clone git://github.com/mapnik/mapnik.git
+    $ cd mapnik/
+    $ python scons/scons.py configure
+    $ python scons/scons.py install
+    $ ldconfig
+```
+
+ * Next, start the python REPL and try to import mapnik:
+
+```sh
+    $ python
+```
+```python
+    >>> import mapnik
+    >>> mapnik.mapnik_version()
+    701
+    >>>
+```
