Dear All,
I have been getting valuable information from the list for more than a year now. Recently, I upgraded to Fedora 6 with a clean install. I tried to run the following command but recieved an error. I would appreciate any feedback. Grass package is looking for Gdal version 1.3 libraries.
Thank you,
Sitansu

Install command:
yum localinstall grass-6.2.0-1.fdr.fc6.i386.rpm gdal-grass-1.3.2-1.fdr.fc6.i386.rpm

You also need to install the gdal RPM as well. grass-gdal is only a
plugin for gdal that allows it to interpret GRASS format.

Thank you Brad. I got Grass and gdal working finally. The install proved to
be very simple this time.

My steps:
1. Downloaded gdal-grass-1.3.2-1.fdr.fc6.i386.rpm,
grass-6.2.0-1.fdr.fc6.i386.rpm and geos-2.2.3-1.fc6.i386.rpm from
http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass62/binary/linux/fedora6/

wget
http://grass.itc.it/grass62/binary/linux/fedora6/gdal-grass-1.3.2-1.fdr.fc6.
i386.rpm
wget
http://grass.itc.it/grass62/binary/linux/fedora6/grass-6.2.0-1.fdr.fc6.i386.
rpm
wget
http://grass.itc.it/grass62/binary/linux/fedora6/max_rpms/geos-2.2.3-1.fc6.i
386.rpm

2. Downloaded gdal-1.3.2-2.fc6.i386.rpm and ogdi-3.1.5-1.fc6.i386.rpm

http://fr2.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/local/fedora/6/i386/gdal-1.3.2-2.fc6.i386.
html

http://fr2.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/local/fedora/6/i386/ogdi-3.1.5-1.fc6.i386.
html

wget
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/local/fedora/6/i386/gdal-1.3.2-2.fc6.i386.rpm
wget
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/local/fedora/6/i386/ogdi-3.1.5-1.fc6.i386.rpm

3. Edited yum configuration file to turn off gpg checking as
gdal-grass-1.3.2-1.fdr.fc6.i386.rpm is not signed.

joe /etc/yum.conf and changed to
gpgcheck=0

Or

sed -i s/gpgcheck=.*/gpgcheck=0/ /etc/yum.conf

4. Installed using yum

yum localinstall gdal-1.3.2-2.fc6.i386.rpm
gdal-grass-1.3.2-1.fdr.fc6.i386.rpm grass-6.2.0-1.fdr.fc6.i386.rpm
geos-2.2.3-1.fc6.i386.rpm ogdi-3.1.5-1.fc6.i386.rpm

5. SElinux was causing access voilation. Hence, disabled it by using the
GUI.
Or
joe /etc/selinux/config
Then changed
SELINUX=permissive

6. Enabled gpg check
sed -i s/gpgcheck=.*/gpgcheck=1/ /etc/yum.conf

GRASS 6.2 is operational now.
