[GRASSLIST:8188] Re: Grass6.0.1 Binaries for Mandrake 10.0

[Alejandro Hinojosa]

Dear list,
Since nobody came to the rescue but Otto , let me tell you how i fixed 
using the binary distribution  intended for Mandrake 10.1 in version 10.0 
This is to solve the dependencies of the distribution rpms. Otto indirectly 
suggested to migrate to 10.1, but sometimes it's to much hassle to 
backup  everything before migrating.

I followed the installation sequence defined in the  readme of the 
distribution site for Mandrake
http://www.gdf-hannover.de/media.php?id=1&lg=en
then when the dependencies started to appear i went 
to  http://rpm.pbone.net  and searched for the libraries requested, 
download them and installed manually with root privileges with  rpm 
-ivh  package.rpm.

At the end, I got grass60 to run. I hope I don't get into furture problems 
for running on version 10.0.
My first surprise, besides the interface, is that it will not see my old 
vectors from 5.4.

Alejandro
