[GRASS-user] installing Grass 7 on ubuntu 11.04

[Manish Gautam]

Hi,

Thanks for your responses.

I followed till this step
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install_Ubuntu#GRASS_GIS
(about the ./configure command not working earlier, this time it
worked as I didn't use the ubuntu repository to install rest of the
prerequisites, but downloaded manually and moved to the source code
directory and then configured it accordingly).

In the step of Grass_GIS, ./configure worked (but it says error:
unabale to locate TIFF includes, rest worked).

the  step -

compile & install

make -j2 && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig

says "include/Make/Vars.make:1: include/Make/Platform.make: No such
file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `include/Make/Platform.make'.  Stop."

and here I am stuck.
