Hi all,
I’m not sure who maintains the compiled binaries on the ubuntugis ppa repository, so I’m addressing this request to the whole list. Currently, the version of GRASS64 on the ppa is RC6-2. Given that 64 stable has just been released, it would be nice to have the stable version put up to the PPA. For whatever reason the weekly snapshot does not install correctly on Ubuntu (hasn’t for some time now). It always spews out a proj error when you launch GRASS. I have tried today to compile 64 stable from source (on Ubuntu 10.04), but keep getting an annoying error during config that it can’t find my gdal libs (even though they are installed in the normal place, and I’ve run ldconfig, etc…). Hopefully I’ll be able to figure out the compile issues, but regardless, it would be nice for Ubuntu users to have the ability to install 64 stable through apt-get or the package manager, and would be much less of a head ache to install than compiling. So I suppose this is a request to whomever it is that maintains those packages to upgrade them to the current stable version…
