I am new to all of this stuff so forgive me if this question is dumb. I have loaded GRASS 5.7 on my computer running Fedora Core 1. It won’t open and I assume it has to do with the required libraries listed below.
libpq (e.g. libpq3-7.3.4-2mdk.i586.rpm)
proj (e.g. proj-4.4.7-1mdk.i586.rpm)
libproj (e.g. libproj0-4.4.7-1mdk.i586.rpm)
libgdal(e.g. libgdal0-1.1.9-2mdk.i586.rpm)
When I search for the libraries at www.rpmfind.net (i.e. “libpq”) a huge list of different versions comes up. Which ones are the correct ones for my situation? Will the ones created for Mandrake work on my Fedora machine?
I am attempting to get GRASS 5.7 to run on my Fedora machine. I loaded the binary release and it is have some problems finding certain libraries...what's new. Anyhow, Hamish has graciously provided me with a list of required packages (for RH 9) and I have managed to track down most of them. But I've had some trouble finding the postgresql-odbc package. I am confused, because I have been able to track down postgresql-odbc-6.5.3-6.LS1.i386.rpm, postgresql-odbc-7.0.2-18.2_imnx1.i386.rpm and postgresql-odbc-7.1-1..LS1.i386.rpm. However, I get the impression from the PostgreSQL mirror sites that the official ODBC driver is psqlodbc-07.03.0200. What should I use? Does it matter?
Thanks,
Steve

No idea.
FWIW, this is what was needed for redhat 9:
use "rpm -q PACKAGE" to test, then "rpm -Uvh PACKAGE-1.2.3-4.i386.rpm" to install..

postgresql-odbc-7.2.5-1.i386.rpm is on disc 2 of the Redhat 9 release.
I don't know if that version would install on a Fedora system; but after
a quick look, there seems to be an official current version for Fedora:
