[GRASSLIST:10747] Re: issues with grass-6.1.cvs-i686-pc-linux-gnu-01_03_2006: nviz does not work

[Carlos "Guâno" Grohmann]

Also considr upgrading into Breezy (at least). DebianGis packages are
most suitable for Debian Unstable/Testing or Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6.04,
but you can expect that not everything will work cleanly.

If you want to run GRASS+QGIS, I suggest you install stuff like
fftw-2.15, geos, tcl/tk8.3 etc from the repositories via
apt-get/synaptic and then compile gdal, grass and qgis from source.
There is a dependency problem with libgeosc2a, whith will prevent from
installing libgrass, libgdal-grass and qgis-grass-plugins.

This may sound trick, but itś what I did;

1 - install GDAL via synaptic
2 - compile GRASS from source
3 - remove GDAL via synaptic
4 - compile GDAL from source (use --with-grass=path-to-your-install)
5 - compile GRASS again with your new GDAL
6 - compile QGIS (use --with-grass=path-to-your-install).

all the best

Carlos
