[GRASS-user] grass72 or higher on RHEL6

[joerg robl]

Dear GRASS Gurus,



I’m using GRASS GIS for research and teaching on a server with a rather old
Linux (RHEL6). We use GRASS GIS for processing satellite images (LANDSAT8)
which is the main motivation to update to grass72.



I’ve compiled grass from source up to version 7.1 but unfortunately I get
compilation errors compiling grass72 or higher (the configure script does
not complain about any problems). It seems the compilation problems may be
related to the rather old matplotlib (0.9x) while grass requires matplotlib
> 1.2. As a result, the GRASS GUI crashes after the startup. Of course it
may be possible to compile matplotlib from source, which however requires a
higher version of numpy which in turn requires at least python2.7x instead
of the installed python 2.6x. Not necessary to say that after compiling and
installing python2.7x the wxPhyton libs would also require an update … ! At
that point I ended up compiling grass72 on RHEL6.



I’m just wondering if there is a standalone version of GRASS GIS for Linux,
similar to the Windows version, where all libs are statically linked and
packed together.

Any ideas how to bring grass72 or the bleeding edge 7.3 up and running on
RHEL6.



cheers Jörg
