New packages for Ubuntu available
March 15, 2007 – 9:49 am
I finally managed to get vmplayer up and running (which was really pain in this network), so I tried to
generate first set of amd64 packages of GRASS and related programs. I
also recompiled everything, so it uses GDAL 1.4.0 now.
List of currently supported programs and their version:
- GRASS GIS 6.2.1 (stable) http://grass.itc.it
- GDAL/OGR 1.4.0 (stable) http://gdal.org
- PROJ4 4.5.0 (stable) http://proj.maptools.org
- QGIS 0.8 (development) http://qgis.org
- GPSBABEL 1.3.2 (stable) http://www.gpsbabel.org
- UMN MapServer 4.10 (stable) http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu
Supported architectures:
- i386
- amd64
Version of Ubuntu: 6.10 (Edgy Eft)
I also added sources, so you can download them via apt-get source and
recompile according to your needs.
To use it, point your browser to http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu or place
deb http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu edgy multiverse
deb-src http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu edgy multiverse
to your /etc/apt/sources.list. You can also dowload my PGP key using
sudo wget -O - http://les-ejk.cz/pgp/jachym_cepicky-gpg.pub | apt-key add -
I would appreciate any feedback, especially for the AMD64 platform.

Question: Try to load http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu edgy multiverse, but Ubuntu does not identify bzip2 compression. I´m a Ubuntu Newcomer so I dunno what to do

#1: You have to add ubuntu multiverse and universe repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list to be able to use related packages.

#2: Did you try to install grass via apt-get or downloaded && dpkg -i ?
