[GRASS-user] grass-7.8.5 on Fedora 33

So, far, I must be cursed… I successfully loaded and configured Fedora 33 with the KDE desktop (much better than GNOME 3; used it long ago).

Downloaded grass-7.8.5 from the tarball, etc. Read and followed directions on https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install#GRASS_GIS_7_on_Fedora

Nearly everything downloaded and installed from the dnf install file except for the proj-epsg item. Nevertheless, I went ahead with the ./configure script then was shot down by the “couldn’t find the TIFF” item. Evidently dnf install can’t find it and Fedora 33 doesn’t have it on my machine. (I used the “Everything” option, although I chose only some of the items). I attempted to use dnf to find TIFF but it failed.

If TIFF is related to the protocol for displaying *.tiff images then I’m confused. Or if there are some other instructions for grass-7.8.5 on Fedora I haven’t found them yet.

Any suggestions?

Ah, proj-epsg and proj-nad no longer exist (replaced by
proj-datumgrid* which was already listed there).
I have updated the wiki accordingly.

Nevertheless, I went ahead with the ./configure script then was shot down by the "couldn't find the TIFF" item.

Can you please post your "configure" command?

Evidently dnf install can't find it and Fedora 33 doesn't have it on my machine.

... there is the "libgeotiff-devel" RPM.

I am not sure what TIFF package you are looking for. Hence I'd need to
know your "configure" command.

I install from source, so cannot check. PROJ 7 needs Tiff and curl (to access
the CDN) over and above the sqlite3 requirement introduced by PROJ 6. Is the
install process pulling in PROJ > 6? I see 6.3.2 as the F33 current version,
but >= 7 would explain complaints about missing Tiff:

$ pkg-config proj --libs --static
-L/usr/local/lib -lproj -lsqlite3 -ltiff -lcurl -lstdc++

Hi,

Just FYI: meanwhile GRASS GIS 7.8.5 is officially available from the
Fedora repos (F32, F33):

dnf install grass grass-gui grass-devel

Cheers,
Markus

As a recent GRASS GIS-installation sufferer, I can explain what I did. Basically I followed Markus Neteler's instructions explicitly for installing 7.8.5. There were some small mistakes but he carefully corrected them. I used his instructions from the User Group regarding 7.8.5, and the instructions called for a two-step process (or three steps): download the 7.8.5 source tarball, use the script preparing for the compilation (which guarantees all the required software is installed), then run the compile, make, make install steps.
