[GRASS-dev] GRASS 7 - Ubuntu package build problem on Launchpad

[Markus Neteler]

Hi all,

just tried to install GRASS GIS 7 on a freshly installed Ubuntu 12.4
box but it failed (see below). I thought the issue had been solved in
the past. Is my install sequence wrong which I took from the GRASS web
site?

ubuntu at gislab-nuc:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grass/grass-stable;
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install grass70-core grass70-gui
grass70-doc
[sudo] password for ubuntu:
