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?<br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>

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)

I take it this is a pre-compiled binary?
Note the "mdk". These are Mandrake RMPs, not Redhat/Fedora. :/
Download & build the CVS versions of PROJ.4 and GDAL and install into
/usr/local/.

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..

You might get lucky, but I wouldn't count on it.
