Even though I had 'removed' 0.8 it seems there's some of it left, as
well as 0.7! Also, I don't have libqgis1 for 0.9. What's the best way to
sort this out?
gavinf at mtk-srv017:/etc/apache2$ sudo locate libqgis_core.so
/usr/lib/libqgis_core.so.1
/usr/lib/libqgis_core.so.1.0.0
gavinf at mtk-srv017:/etc/apache2$ ls /usr/lib/libqgis_*
/usr/lib/libqgis_composer.so.1 /usr/lib/libqgis_gui.so.1
/usr/lib/libqgis_raster.so.1
/usr/lib/libqgis_composer.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libqgis_gui.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libqgis_raster.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libqgis_core.so.1 /usr/lib/libqgis_legend.so.1
/usr/lib/libqgis_core.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libqgis_legend.so.1.0.0
gavinf at mtk-srv017:/etc/apache2$ dpkg -l |grep qgis
rc libqgis0 0.7.4-5ubuntu1
QGIS Geographic Information System - shared
ii libqgis1 0.8.0-5ubuntu2
QGIS Geographic Information System - shared
ii qgis 0.9.1-2
Geographic Information System (GIS)
ii qgis-plugin-grass 0.9.1-2
Plugin for accessing GRASS data from QGIS
thanks

Hi
Do you have more that one QGIS installation on that machine?
Can you do:
sudo updatedb (to update your slocate database)
locate libqgis_core.so
And paste the results back to me. The libs should have been installed
into /usr/lib e.g. on my system:
[~] ls /usr/lib/libqgis_*
/usr/lib/libqgis_core.so /usr/lib/libqgis_gui.so
Above is for QGIS installed via my PPA. If you are on a 64bit machine
they could be in /usr/lib64. You should also check you dont have
conflicting packages on your machine:
[~] dpkg -l |grep qgis
ii libqgis1 0.9.1-2
QGIS Geographic Information System - shared
ii libqgis1-dev 0.9.1-2
QGIS Geographic Information System - develop
ii qgis 0.9.1-2
Geographic Information System (GIS)
If you get more matches than that try removing the older ones.
Regards
Tim
