Couple days ago i changed my distribution and now i'm happy owener of
debian sarge. I wanted install grass6.1 on my machine but i couldt.
I changed the library names (Tcl/Tk) but there is still error durig
"./configure"
.....
checking whether to use Tcl/Tk... yes
checking for location of Tcl/Tk includes...
checking for tcl.h... yes
checking for tk.h... no
configure: error: *** Unable to locate Tk includes.
(The grass60 installed from .debs works but there is some nviz
problem)
what should i do?
1) The DebianGIS project publishes backported packages of GRASS 6.0.2
and 6.1-cvs for Debian/Stable (sarge) as well as other geospatial
software (eg gdal 1.3.1).
see http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl
2) If you explore the "build depends" line in the package description
you can quickly figure out what packages you need to compile it
yourself. You can even use the debian package building framework as a
one line command. See the debian/ directory in the GRASS source code.
see http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grass6/debian/
(Paulo, could you write up a quick README file for there on how to build
your own packages? I don't know the "correct" way.)
3) compile it yourself. If you get *latest* CVS code you can compile
with tcltk 8.4 and fftw3, otherwise use tcltk8.3 and fftw2 without
losing anything.
I think for the FFMPEG animation support in NVIZ you need to get some
non-Free packages from Christian Marillat's repository:
add to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main
./configure step: (season to taste)
CFLAGS="-ggdb -march=pentium4 -Wall" ./configure \
--with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.3 \
--with-motif --with-motif-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \
--with-readline --with-cxx --with-glw --with-odbc --with-sqlite \
--with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
--without-postgres \
2>&1 | tee config_log.txt
# --with-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-includes=/usr/include/ffmpeg
$ make
To run GRASS, simply start (or symlink to)
$ ./bin.$ARCH/grass61
or, as root,
# make install
