[reportlab-users] Installing on Mac OSX

[Aaron Barlow]

Andrea,

I've installed Reportlab on several Mac, but you can't use  
easy_install do to because of some of the required dependencies (i.e.  
FreeType and PIL). You'll have better success installing ReportLab and  
its dependencies from source.
