[GRASS-dev] ubuntu 8.10 compile error

[Isaac Ullah]

Hi Glynn, Thanks for the advice, it was partially successful. I was indeed
missing the wx-gtk2 dev package (I had the wx-base dev package, so as a
lesson to others, be very careful when searching through the ubuntu package
repository!), and this allowed the NVIS compile error to resolve itself. I
am still getting compile erros for "...gui/wxpython/vdigit", albeit a
different error than I was getting before. Here is the text of the error:

I thought that it must be something missing in my gtk install, so I went
through the ubuntu repository and got absolutely everything gtk that I could
find (over 140 packages), but to no avail...  A web search hs yielded plenty
of "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -xxxxx" , but none for "-lgdi". Most of the
solutions to similar errors were of the "you need to install xxxx package"
variety. Unfortuntately, none of these solutions were for a missing -lgdi
nor were they even specific to GRASS... Thanks again in advance for any help
you or others may offer to me.

Cheers,

Isaac
