Run POI tools as WSGI.

As long as it is not included in Django, you need to apply the patch attached to bug 11948 to get LineString interpolation. It requires GEOS 3.2.

Gentoo

If you did not use layman yet, install layman.

USE="git" emerge layman
echo "source /var/lib/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf

Add the POI tools overlay to /etc/layman/layman.cfg by adding the second line to overlays:

overlays  : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml
            http://gitorious.org/osm-poi-tools/gentoo-overlay/blobs/raw/master/overlays.xml

Update the overlays, add the POI tools overlay and install MonetDB:

layman -S
layman -a osm-poi-tools

USE="python odbc sphinx" emerge monetdb-geom

emerge osmparser
