[GRASS-user] Repository for RH Enterprise Linux / Scientific Linux ?

Hi,

I'm trying to install GRASS on a machine running Scientific linux. It's a slow job of compiling dependancies from source, as the repositories are very limited.

Does anyone know of a repository with rpms of Grass and other GIS software (and the dependancies e.g. proj, gdal)? What is the les-ejk of the Redhat world?

Cheers

John

I am also using ScientificLinux on a (large) machine.
Essentially I had to compile PROJ4 and GDAL to get GRASS
running.

Does anyone know of a repository with rpms of Grass and other GIS software

I am afraid that it does not exist - perhaps we could convince the
ScientificLinux makers to add these few RPMs into the distribution.

What do you need to compile?

Under CentOS Dag Wieer's RPM Repository satisfies some of my GRASS Dependencies, which might also work with ScientificLinux (since both are built from RHEL Source)??? Sorry I am NOT familiar with SL, so I can NOT be more definitive...

    http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/

NOTE: Dag's Repositories can also be accessed directly from YUM, APT and
       UP2DATE...

Thanks,

In the end I got GDAL and Proj and most of my other dependencies from the Dag Wieers repository. It turns out that the Dag repository in Scientific Linux (ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/extra/dag/redhat/el4/en/x86_64/RPMS.dag/) doesn't have the same packages as the main Dag repository (http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/?M=D), so I had to change that.

I'm having problems with the wxpython and vdigit still, as it says that there is some kind of version number mismatch, but I don't know if that is related to repositories or down to my messy installation.

Cheers

John

I'm a beginner Linux user, and I need to add Grass to Scientific Linux as
well. If you have any information about an rpm approach I would be most
grateful.
