[GRASS-user] grass7- problems caompiling

Hi,

I recently downgraded from ubuntu 11.10 (on a macbookpro 8.1) to 12.04 LTS (on a samsung 900X3E) - kernel version: 3.5.0-36-generic

On 11.10 I had grass7 running smoothly. On 12.04, after a frustrating night, I’m still not able to have it running.

I followed instructions on http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install_Ubuntu#GRASS_GIS, with minor alternations…

(yes, I do need 7 rather than 6.4…)

GRASS GIS 7.0.svn 57205 compilation log

Started compilation: Thu Jul 18 13:48:21 WEST 2013

Errors in:
/usr/local/src/grass7_trunk/scripts/v.krige

In case of errors please change into the directory with error and run ‘make’.
If you get multiple errors, you need to deal with them in the order they
appear in the error log. If you get an error building a library, you will
also get errors from anything which uses the library.

Finished compilation: Thu Jul 18 13:53:46 WEST 2013
make: *** [default] Error 1

When I type grass70, it returns: “command not found”.

Am I missing something really simple? IF so, sorry, but could someone help?

Thanks a lot.
António

You should compile as normal user, not root. In case the
Wiki instructions are wrong (dind't check). To fix above error, change the
file owner of config.log to your user from "root" user.

-------------------------------------------
make -j2 && sudo checkinstall && sudo ldconfig

Errors in:
/usr/local/src/grass7_trunk/scripts/v.krige

(this one you can ignore for now)

This will be caused by compiling as sudo (bad idea).
You need to take ownership for all files in the source directory.

When I type grass70, it returns: "command not found".

It seems you did not run "[sudo] make install". hence the
start script is in

./bin.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/grass70

You can use GRASS from there, no need to install it if you are only
user on the machine.

hope that helps

You need write permission on the source tree.
