[GRASS-user] gdal_version.h for gdal-1.2.5-1.i586.rpm

[Otto Dassau]

Hi Lawrence, 

the rpm is pretty old and was compiled on a Suse 9.1 (June, 2005). The
dependencies probably don't fail because there aren't really any included in
the SPEC file, except these:

BuildRequires: proj, python, zlib-devel
Requires: proj, zlib, python

BTW: the related GRASS package was grass-6.0.0.

Maybe you should create your own gdal rpm for RHEL3/CentOS3 with a appropriate
SPEC file or somebody has a matching package for your distribution. The gdal
1.2.5 suse package is not a good choice - I think...

Maybe you can adapt a fedora4 spec file to your needs from here:

regards,
 Otto
