[GRASS5] [bug #2671] (grass) Additional dependencies in Fedora rpm's

[Request Tracker]

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=2671
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: Additional dependencies in Fedora rpm's

Platform: GNU/Linux/i386
grass obtained from: Other (CDROM etc)
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 5.7.0

I downloaded the recommended RPM's from http://ftp.intevation.de/users/silke/packages/fedora/RPMS/i386/
but there were still dependencies for installing gdal and grass.  (PostGRESQL libraries and unixODBC libraries).  These were not very hard to install from the respective project websites, but it would be helpful to new users to inform us that we may need to install these additional libraries, how to install them, or how to force an installation of grass without these libraries and the additional functionality they provide.

(Many new users, myself included, find references to libpq.so.X very intimidating.)

Kind regards,

Michael Ash
