[GRASS-dev] GRASS70 for Ubuntu in ppa

Hi all,
Hi Rashad,

I just checked the link that is provided here: http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software/linux/

which points to the ubuntugis-testing repository
for downloading a precompiled GRASS70 package.
However, this repo does not include GRASS70.
Is there any way resp. any repo that contains already
an actual version of GRASS70 for Ubuntu or do
I have to compile it myself?

Usually I compile it myself but now I just set up a
very slim Xubuntu on a virtual machine for a collegue
and wanted just to simply install GRASS70. Any pointer?

Thank you for the quick reply…

so just to be sure:
the grass70 is now located at GRASS GIS PPA.
the actual stable grass64 (643) is still located in UbuntuGIS-unstable PPA
or also maintained for GRASS GIS PPA?

/Johannes

No problem…as I said I just rolled back to precise. So no worry about raring for the moment. On precise I am able to install grass70 from grass-devel ppa and grass643 from ubuntugis-unstable…

However when I try to launch both from the console (freshly installed precise) via grass64 or grass70 I get an error:

python: can’t open file ‘/usr/lib/grass64/etc/wxpython/gis_set.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

resp.

python: can’t open file ‘/usr/lib/grass70/etc/wxpython/gis_set.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Any idea about that?

There is a grass and grass-devel listed which seems to be related to the grass 6.4.2
(is in the official ubuntu repo?)

However when I try to launch both from the console (freshly installed
precise) via grass64 or grass70 I get an error:

python: can't open file '/usr/lib/grass64/etc/wxpython/gis_set.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

is the grass-gui package installed?

Hamish

Hi,

yes grass-gui package is now also installed and this made grass64 working.
However the grass-gui package did not solve the problem with launching the gui of grass70.

Hi,

you might have a look at the grass7 startup script to see why 7.0 is looking for anything in the old /usr/lib/grass64/* directory.

`which grass70` should tell you the file to start looking in. (eg /usr/bin/grass70)

be sure you haven't manually set the GISBASE environment variable to anything.

Hamish

gis_set.py was included in grass-gui package. I had seen this issue earlier with someone and still didnt fixed it yet. Sorry its a fault on my side if its not fixed by adding grass-gui package. If so I will find some tim this sunday to fix the problem

Has this issue already been solved? Today, after some time I uninstalled and reinstalled grass70 (and grass-gui) from the ubuntugis-ppa to check if it working now. But still I can’t launch the GUI with a slightly different error now. I seems that it is now pointing a least to GRASS70:

Hit RETURN to continue
Starting GRASS GIS…
python: can’t open file ‘/usr/lib/grass70/etc/gui/wxpython/gis_set.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Received EXIT message from GUI.

I checked an I also couldn’t find the folder gui under /usr/lib/grass70/etc/
