thanks.

just scanning the "error" grep at the end of the log, a few
glitches:


install_spatialite.sh
 * several "ERROR 404: Not found"
 * please set wget to be less verbose (-nv) for tiny files


install_pgrouting:
 * build fails
 * sudo not needed
 * please remove -dev packages once you are done with them.
   (libboost-dev takes up hundreds of MB)


R: (rpy) needs the LAPACK math library.
     -- should we install the "rpy2" package??

I suggest to have install_desktop.sh mkdir several folders
in ~user/Desktop/ for various classes of software.
Then do
 mv ~user/Desktop/package*.desktop "~user/Desktop/Desktop GIS/"
etc. Do that sorting in the install_desktop.sh script to
centralize it and to make it easier for the individual install
script maintainers.

possible categories:
-Desktop GIS
-GeoServers
-Globes and Navigation
