APT Repositories for GRASS GIS?

cgoerner · 06-22-2004, 06:30 AM

I'm using Synaptic on Fedora Core 2 and I want to install GRASS GIS without manually downloading the required dependencies. Are there repositories for this?
Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to do it that hard way?

Looking at the download page, the binaries are in rpm format. What happens if you download and run the rpm file? Assuming you don't already have the dependencies, why not just install them via Synaptic/apt and the run the rpm file?

I gave that a go but running the rpm gives this output:

Code:

error: Failed dependencies:

I assume I need to install the following rpms but they're not listed in any of my installed apt repositories. I looked on rpmfind.net but there aren't any for fedora. I assume I can't install the mandrake ones.

The following libraries are required:

* libpq (e.g. libpq3-7.3.4-2mdk.i586.rpm)
* proj (e.g. proj-4.4.7-1mdk.i586.rpm)
* libproj (e.g. libproj0-4.4.7-1mdk.i586.rpm)
* libgdal(e.g. libgdal0-1.1.9-2mdk.i586.rpm)

and, recommended, also:

* tcl (e.g. tcl-8.3.3-21mdk.i586.rpm)
* tk (e.g. tk-8.3.3-21mdk.i586.rpm)
* gdal tools (e.g. gdal-1.1.9-2mdk.i586.rpm)
* libfftw (must be fft2, e.g. libfftw2-2.1.5-2mdk.i586.rpm)
* libgrass (e.g. libgrass5-1.0.0-1mdk.src.rpm - but only if inserted in one of above packages as dependency)
