[GRASSLIST:7049] GRASS 6.0.0 startup problems

Dear reader

I am a first time GRASS user, and have very little GIS experience. I installed

GRASS 6.0.0 on my Linux (Fedora Core 3) machine. I installed all the minimum
requirements. I had to install it without postgresql, as GRASS couldn't find
the libraries. Other than than, I istalled gdal, tcl/tk, Mesa-3.x, fftw,
libtiff, mysql, unixODBC, lesstif, R language and Freetype2. I downloaded the
spearfish mapset, and I am trying to open it. The following error is given:
GRASS 6.0.0 (spearfish60):/usr/local/grass-6.0.0/bin.i686-pc-linux-gnu >
Error
in startup script: ps.map: error while loading shared libraries: libgdal.so.1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Your help is appreciated.

hallo,
try to locate libdal.so

    locate libdal.so

(by me:
    jachym@trava:~$ locate libgdal.so
    /usr/lib/libgdal.so
    /usr/lib/libgdal.so.1
    /usr/lib/libgdal.so.1.6.0
    /usr/src/gis/grass/gdal-1.2.3/.libs/libgdal.so
    /usr/src/gis/grass/gdal-1.2.3/.libs/libgdal.so.1
    /usr/src/gis/grass/gdal-1.2.3/.libs/libgdal.so.1.4.1
    jachym@trava:~$
)

it it founds somethin similar (libgdal.so.1.6.0), you have to link it - create
the symbolic link

    ln -s /usr/lib/libgdal.so.1.6.0 /usr/lib/libgdal.so.1

FC3 RPMs for GDAL: (instructions from Craig Aumann)

To install GRASS, you will likely also need to install the following
RPMS:

- fftw-2.1.5-5.i386.rpm (version >= 2.1) available at
http://www.rpmfind.net (I believe it is also part of Fedora 3 Extras
for i386).

and the following, all available at
http://mappinghacks.com/rpm/fedora/3/

- gdal-1.2.5-mh3.i686.rpm
- proj-4.4.9-mh2.i686.rpm
- geos-2.1.1-mh2.i686.rpm
- ogdi-3.1.1-mh1.i686.rpm

The gdal package does require a number of libraries included with
PostreSQL. Perhaps the easiest way to satisfy these requirements is
to add the application PostgreSQL via Add/Remove Applications under
the Applications->System Settings menu. The GRASS RPM is compiled with
full database support for ODBC, MYSQL and PostgreSQL; however, to use
these databases with GRASS they will need to be installed on your
system. MySQL can be installed using Add/Remove Applications as well.
Note that fully installing PostgreSQL requires further setup beyond
that done by via the automated Add/Removing Applications. See the
PostgreSQL website for instructions. This is only necessary if you
want to use PostgreSQL with GRASS.
