[GRASS-user] GRASS and opensuse 12.3

I've run into problems in trying to install GRASS and some related
software on my opensuse 12.3 system. It may be something broken in my
install - but - I cannot get an installation of GRASS to finish up on
my system, which is running an AMD Phenom II processor with 4 gigs of
memory and a 600 gig sata hard drive. Attempts report a missing
libodb.so.2() (64 bit). Attempts to install other elements, e.g. gdal
or qgis also report a missing libpng16.so.16() (64 bit). There is a
libpng15.so.15 present on the system.

Hi,

Can you please post the repositories that you have enabled on your system?
I will take a look now on a fresh install to see what the problem is.

Cheers,
Angelos

Hi,

libpng16.so.16 and libodbc.so.2 is part of opensuse factory AFAIK.

Maybe you mixed up 12.3 with factory packages/repositories? On my Opensuse
12.3 with libodb.so.1 and libpng15.so.15 it installs without problems.

Otto

Thanks for the response. I have eight "openSUSE-12.3-*" repositories
enabled, the "Application:Geo" repository enabled, the openSUSE
BuildService repositories, and the multimedia:lib and apps repositories
enabled. I went through enabling everything when I first encountered
the problem. No help, though QGIS did show up in Yast on a list of
available software afterward. BTW, Apper seems to show a somewhat
different list and DOES show GRASS. Not sure how that works unless
they (YAST and apper) are using different databases.

I wish I knew. I used to compile GRASS, gdal and proj.4 from source on
SUSE, but that was a while ago. I've been running other releases just
for the fun of it. I switched back from kubuntu just a few weeks ago
and have been tuning up the system ever since. I tried the
installation procedures accessed from the GRASS web site with no
success. Thank you for replying.
