[GRASS-user] installing Grass 7 on ubuntu 11.04

[Sören Gebbert]

Hi Manish,
please make sure that all requirements for GRASS are fulfilled. Using
./configure --help will show you all switches that can be set. In your
particular case is the libtiff-dev package from Ubuntu missing. Use this
command:

apt-get install libtiff-dev

to install the development files (header) for libtiff. This will solve the
tiff error.
Please have a look at [1] and install all missing dependencies using
apt-get or aptitude.

Best regards
Soeren
