[GRASS-user] r.diversity (r.li) options on windows

GRASS GRASS user
1

Hi there,

As part of a master's thesis, we would like to use r.diversity to process aerial multi-spectral imagery using a Windows 7 machine.

(The most recent piece of info is apparently this grass-devel thread:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.devel/56124

Putting Luca and Alessandro in copy because of this related thread:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.gfoss.italian/12245
)

As the r.li suite appears still broken on Windows,
http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status#Known_Issues

we were wondering whether it would be wiser to go the g.gui.rlisetup way
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/g.gui.rlisetup.html

or to opt for a virtual machine installation, e.g.
http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/virtualization_quickstart.html

In general, is there any advantage in using grass 7 vs. 6 in our case?

Kind regards and thanks for any pointer,

Luigi

Hello,

replying to myself to report an attempt at running r.diversity using the virtual machine option, i.e. osgeo-live-vm-7.0 on windows 7 installed as shown at
http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/virtualization_quickstart.html

In GRASS 6.4.3, settings -> Addons estensions -> Install extension from addons [g.extension];

fetched repository (http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass-addons/grass6) via "Fetch" button;

selected raster -> r.diversity, and pressed "Install" butto;

received the following output message at GUI command console:

g.extension.py extension=r.diversity svnurl=http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass-addons/grass6
Fetching <r.diversity> from GRASS-Addons SVN (be patient)...
svn: Can't move 'r.diversity/.svn/tmp/entries' to
'r.diversity/.svn/entries': File exists
ERROR: GRASS Addons <r.diversity> not found
(Fri Feb 21 15:51:11 2014) Command finished (15 sec)

Is there a way to do a GUI install or, as suggested in the g.extension help page, one should just copy the r.diversity.py script to the grass addons directory (e.g., /grassdata/addons/scripts/)?

Thanks for any pointer,

Luigi

Hi Luigi,

over the past few weeks Markus Metz has submitted a major rewrite of
r.li.* to GRASS GIS 7.svn.

We tested the older version a lot which is containing a lot of errors.

Suggestion: get a fresh GRASS 7 from SVN (or precompiled, see
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass7/
) and use the r.diversity Addon for GRASS 7.

Backporting the r.li.* rewrite is quite some effort, not sure how to
deal with that.

Best
Markus

Hi Markus,

Thanks to you and Markus Metz!

We will immediately go after your suggestion and report back ASAP.

Kind regards,

Luigi

Hi Markus,

I have installed grass70 on a virtualBox with OSGeo Live 7.0

GRASS precompiled version from:
https://launchpad.net/~grass/+archive/grass-devel
ppa:grass/grass-devel

Installed precompiled version:
7.0.0+0ubuntu3~develppa~2~svn-30128~ubuntu12.04.1

which the repository says is 9 hrs hold, and hence I assume includes r.li.* updates by Markus Metz.

Start GRASS from terminal with grass70 is fine.

If I go menuwise in wxpython gui:
Settings > Addons extenstions > install extensions from Addons

g.extension gui reports the following error:

Unable to load extensions

and when trying to fecth extensions, the same occurs.

Other things appear not to work properly. For example, again in the gui:
Help > About GRASS GIS

Nothing happens and commmand console reports the following:

Sounds like a Python problem but I am not sure how to deal with that. I also have of course GRASS 6.4.3 intalled as it comes with OSGeo Live 7.0.

Thanks in advance for any pointer.

Kind regards,

Luigi

This looks like g.version segfaults. What happens when you run:

g.version -rge

This part of error is not related and I fixed it in r59209.

Then I will have to try compilation from source a bit harder. I have failed so far – interesting that I was able to compile GRASS from source on windows 7 some time ago using OSGeo4W, likely because there are fewer degrees of freedom compared to Linux.

This looks like g.version segfaults. What happens when you run:

g.version -rge

Here is what happens (in GRASS prompt):

g.version -rge

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

That’s it. Kind regards and thank you,

Dear Anna,

Just compiled from source r59347 and the error triggered by menu command

Help > About GRASS GIS

no longer shows up, i.e., we get the regular gui window showing info (even though Code Revision and Build Date are not available and a question mark is shown instead).

Your suggested test command shows the following ouput:

GRASS 7.0.svn (valdagri):/usr > g.version -rge
version=7.0.svn
date=2014
revision=
build_date=2014-03-26
build_platform=i686-pc-linux-gnu
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

with revision number still not available.

Our original target, g.extension (see email subject), still returns the Fetch & Install extension from GRASS Addons gui windows with error saying “Unable to load extensions”.

Displaying GIS layers seems to work fine. Basic things like g.region, r.info, etc. also appear to be OK.

We would be grateful if someone can drop a line pointing us to a way to run r.diversity and/or any other comment you might thing useful.

Kind regards,

Luigi
