This required a bit more work then anticipated to get working.....but...the 
output is amazing. 

On Ubuntu their is an issue with 8.04 wx linking as reported in the error 
message. So the workaround is to rebuild gdal with python2.4 not 2.5 and then 
run maptiler with python2.4 

On Ubuntu systems all you need to do is edit the symlink to point to 2.4 not 
2.5 and then change it back once gdal is compile. 

Since this is an alpha release their are bugs and collar removal will be 
available in 1.0. This is one sweet application for those who like to build 
their own maps as openlayers, openstreetmap, google, yahoo, and google earth 
are all supported "with output" no less as well as different projections and 
warping is supported.

In short, ya gotta play with this one..:)
