GRDSS INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
GRASS DOWNLOAD:
Similarly download, postgreSQL, unixodbc, fftw. The new versions for these are continuously released. You can go for the latest one.
POSTGRESQL INSTALLATION:
Everywhere “ username” is the name with which you loggin into the system.
Step 1: cd to postgresql untar
directory
Step 2: ./configure
--prefix=/home/username/psql
--bindir=/home/username/bin
Step
3: make
Step 4: make install
Step
5: make clean
Note:- if you want to install postgreSQL in a predefined desired directory then use --prefix and --bindir else it will be installed in the default directory. In this case, don't use --prefix and --bindir. This holds true with all the software installation.
UNIXODBC INSTALLATION:
Step 1: cd <unixodbc untar
directory>
Step 2: ./configure
--prefix=/home/username/unixodbc --bindir=
/home/username/bin
Step 3: make
Step 4:
make install
Step 5: make clean
Step 6:
Create a tempelate file called temp1 suitable to your configuration. Care has to
taken that blank spaces are not left at
the beginning.
[PostgreSQL]
Description = ODBC for PostgreSQL
Driver
= /usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so
Setup
=
/usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so
FileUsage = 1
then execute ---> odbcinst -i -d -f temp1
Similarly create a tempelate file called temp2 suitable to your configuration.
[PostgreSQL]
Description = Test to Postgres
Driver
=
/home/username/unixodbc/lib/libodbcpsql.so
Trace
= Yes
TraceFile
= sql.log
Database
= test
Servername =
localhost
UserName =
Password
=
Port
=
5432
Protocol = 7.2
ReadOnly
= No
RowVersioning = No
ShowSystemTables =
No
ShowOidColumn = No
FakeOidIndex =
No
ConnSettings =
then execute ---- odbcinst -i -s -f temp2
[Note:-7.2 in the above file is your postgresql version this can be determined by psql -V]
For further information
http://wgbis.ces.iisc.ernet.in/grass/grassgui/www.unixodbc.org/odbcinst.html
http://grass.itc.it/sqlgrass/odbc_grass_install.html
NOTE: There is a driver shipped from PostgreSQL distribution called libpsqlodbc.so (rather than libodbcpsql.so coming with unixodbc). It seems that postgresql-odbc package is not working and only usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so from unixODBC is working properly. (See psqlODBC home page: http://odbc.postgresql.org/psqlodbc.php?DocID=faq-general)
FFTW INSTALLATION:
Step 1: cd to fftw untar
directory
Step 2: ./configure
--prefix=/home/username/fftw
--bindir=/home/username/bin
Step
3: make
Step 4: make install
Note: If you want to install fftw in a predefined desired directory then use --prefix and --bindir or else it will be installed in the default directory.
GRASS INSTALLATION:
Step1: ./configure --prefix=/home/username
--bindir=/home/username/bin
--with-postgres-includes=/home/username/psql/include/postgresql/server
--with-postgres-libs=/home/username/psql/lib
--with-odbc-includes=/home/username/unixodbc/include
--with-odbc-libs=/home/username/unixodbc/lib
--with-fftw-includes=/home/username/fftw/include
--with-fftw-libs=/home/username/fftw/lib
At the end of it you will get similar to this .......

GRASS is ready for use now. Open a terminal and type:
$ grass5
$ grass5 –text (if you want to start in text
mode)
$ grass5 –tcltk (if you want to start in GUI (tcltk) mode)
Set up a Location and a Mapset and start exploring the GRASS. For more information on Location and Mapset see the GRASS website.
GRDSS INSTALLATION :
GRDSS (Geographic Resources Decision Support System) is developed based on GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) to help those users lacking programming skills. Some new modules have been added and a complete new GUI (Graphical User Interface) has been developed to suit a common and novice user's requirements.
To INSTALL:
If you are working in GRASS just quit and
1. Copy the content of the "add_to_tcltkgrass" to
$GISBASE/tcltkgrass directory.
2. Copy the content of the "add_to_scripts" to
$GISBASE/scripts directory.
3. Copy the contents of the "add_to_raster" to
$GISBASE/raster directory.
4. Then build the new modules using
NOTE: - You may require the necessary file permissions while making changes.
Few Tips before starting installation:
• For downloading other softwares "fftw, postgreSQL..." go to http://wgbis.ces.iisc.ernet.in/grass/grass60/source/REQUIREMENTS.html
• Also read the read me and installatin guide provided in each software.
• Just check if 'C' compiler and Tcl/Tk is installed in you machine.
• You can also become a member of the GRASS mailing list. Go to http://wgbis.ces.iisc.ernet.in/grass/community/support.php
• Read "Subscription to International GRASS Users Mailing list" in the above web page.
• Also for quick solution to any problem type you problem in the space provided at the top left corner of the webpage: http://wgbis.ces.iisc.ernet.in/grass/index.php in "Search".
