[Qgis-developer] Side by side install on Ubuntu.

[Jeremy Palmer]

Hi All,

I'm running QGIS 1.8 from installed package on Ubuntu 11.04, as well as trying to build and run dev master from a custom installed directory e.g /home/user/dev/qgis-install. Version 1.8 seems to run well and I can compile and install the master version. However running master (directly calling the qgis binary) causes me issues in a few cases:

1/ Fatal: ASSERT: "myResult == 0" in file /home/jpalmer/Dev/qgis/Quantum-GIS/src/app/qgsoptions.cpp, line 999. I read that this is due to other versions of the qgis core lib being present i.e 1.8 http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2012-February/018375.html

2/ Some python plugins do not load. e.g Couldn't load plugin cadtools due an error when calling its classFactory(). Or pgversion: NameError: name 'localePath' is not defined

3/ Plugin installer does not see any of my installed plugins and won't let me download and install new plugins.

Is there some sort of environment setup or qgis runtime config I have forgotten to do to make this stuff work?

Cheers,
Jeremy
