[GRASS-user] grass78 on centos7 from coprs/neteler/grass78

GRASS GRASS user
1

Dear list,
I am trying to install grass78 on centos7.
I am following the instructions here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/neteler/grass78/
However when trying to download the file https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/neteler/grass78/repo/epel-7/neteler-grass78-epel-7.repo I get “Error 404: Not Found Chroot epel-7 does not exist in neteler/grass78”

I am wondering if maybe the file is in some slightly different path or if I m doing something wrong

Thank you very much in advance

Laura

Nothing wrong at your end, but at "my" end. I just see that EPEL7
compilation was deactivated.
I have now enabled it and started the compilation [1]. I hope it goes through.

Will let you know as soon as I get the result.

Dear Markus,
thank you very much. Your repositories for fedora and centos are really very helpful in avoiding the compilation from source.

Thanks a lot

Happy to help :slight_smile:

Right now we are stuck at this:
No matching package to install: 'python3-numpy'
No matching package to install: 'python3-dateutil'

It seems that the name is (https://pkgs.org/download/python36-numpy) this one:
python36-numpy
python36-dateutil

Means I have to update the SPEC file to add more special rules for
EPEL7... I try asap.

Dear Markus,
I tried and I get

Error: Package: grass-7.8.0-4.el7.x86_64 (copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:neteler:grass78)
Requires: python3-numpy
Error: Package: grass-7.8.0-4.el7.x86_64 (copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:neteler:grass78)
Requires: python3-matplotlib

yum lists
python34-numpy.x86_64 : A fast multidimensional array facility for Python 3.4
python36-numpy.x86_64 : A fast multidimensional array facility for Python 3.6

but not exactly python3-numpy or python3-matplotlib. I installed python36-numpy.x86_64 and python36-matplotlib.x86_64
I also tried to install from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/neteler/python-matplotlib/ but I could not get past the error above.
Maybe it is something on how it is necessary to refer to python3 in centos?
I tried both with conda and with python3 from yum.

Thanks a lot!

Dear Laura,

I forgot to encapsulate two more statements. It has been compiled again.
Please give it a new try.

Dear Markus,
the main installation worked fine. Thanks a lot!

One more question. I installed grass-gui as well withou problems or errors
When I start GRASS I get the message: ERROR: wxGUI requires wxPython. No module named ‘wx’
I installed wxPython (and its devel) with yum but I think it is not the right version. I tried to installed it within conda environments or using pip3, but the installation is giving errors.
Before I start to dig into it, I was wondering if there is some quick solution to get the right wxPython?

Thanks a lot again!

glad it installs now, at least without the GUI.

In GRASS 7.8, we moved to Python 3.
In Fedora, we use python3-wxpython4 to compile wxGUI:
- https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=26351

However, I don't know where to find a corresponding EPEL package:
- https://centos.pkgs.org/7/epel-x86_64/wxPython-2.8.12.0-9.el7.x86_64.rpm.html
- https://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/w/

Does anyone have an idea? Maybe I am missing something.

thanks

I now briefly talked to the wxPython EPEL maintainer, and opened a

Hope it get's packaged soon.

Hi,
thanks a lot!
In the meantime I can use the png monitor if really needed (working on a cloud machine on a storage type I can not really mount locally).

Thanks a lot

Hi Laura,

Today the EPEL package reached "testing":

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2019-8d020579ef

You may want to test it and leave "karma" there (positive or negative)
in order to let the packager know that things work (or not).

python-wxpython4-4.0.7-4.el7 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7

Dear Markus,
it works fine with the latest version of grass (7.8.2 from coprs/neteler/grass78/) on centos 7. I did not test with previous versions.

I will try to test the whole workflow on centos 8 soon(ish).

Thank you very much!
