[GRASS-user] Installation Issues on CentOS8

[mdwxman]

I don't often compile software on CentOS but even this one has me confused. I'm attempting to install some version of GRASS 7.8 on a CentOS 8 box and I've been attempting to do so, on off for the last 6 months.

There have been several different errors and I've attempted to use conda, conda with a local environment using Python 3.6., yum, and DNF. There are two types of errors: one is the failure to find the gui (g.gui). The other involves a complete stop.

This time I've used the grass-7.8.0.tar.gz files from the GRASS geo site. The lastest attempt results in a stop in the ./configure line at:

include/Make/Vars.make:1: included/Make/Platform.make: No such file or directory

Since it stopped I attempted to use:

make: *** No rule to make target 'include/Make/'. Stop.

I've installed all required libraries and other applications (I think).

I am a newbie with compilers but does anyone have some help for this.

The machine is a Centos 8 machine with 7 Tb disk storage and running a 16-core Ryzen CPU at 4125 MHz.

Thanks. I hope someone can help.
