[GRASS-user] Grass 7 ubuntu 13.10

Hi,

I am trying to start Grass 7 svn on Ubuntu 13.10. I used the following command in terminal:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install grass70 grass70-gui

When i start Grass with ‘grass70’ in terminal the Grass ‘splash’ screen opens and then promptly crashes. Here is the error:


username@ServerName localhost:~$ grass70

Hi,

_raiseerror
    raise err
xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: no element found: line 1, column 0

this a know problem, the packager is providing broken package. During
compilation hasn't been generated wxGUI menu from some reason...
Anyway GRASS should fail probably with more informative error message.

Hi All,

···

Paul, Can you confirm your from which repositories are you downloading GRASS GIS?

GRASS70 daily builds are available on grass-devel ppa[1]. Unfortunately we dont have for saucy. Last time I deactivated daily builds due to a dependency wait from launchpad. However I initiated a build request for saucy right now.

But there needs to be some changes applied on packaging files to make it work. My all packaging code resides in university server and I can access the server till the end of week due to some configuration issues going on with it.

Hi Rashad,

Thanks for your help. I am using the grass-devel ppa. I am in the middle of an upgrade to 14.04 i really only require the ‘i.pansharpen’ module over version 6.4.3. Any working version of Grass 7 version would be great. I would appreciate some instructions on how to install grass70 on Ubuntu 14.04. There seems to be no definitive solution.

many thanks

Regards,
Rashad
