[Ubuntu] installation problem on ubuntu jaunty

[Gedas Vaitkus]

Yes,

The same problem here on Ubuntu Jaunty 64-bit. 

I keep two copies of QGIS - 1.2 from ubuntu-gis (upgraded today), the
other 1.3 I compile myself. The problem with GRASS plugin emerged
immediately after upgrade of GRASS from 2.2.3 (Ubuntu default) to 6.4
RC5 (ubuntu-gis). There is also a gdal upgrade, but that doesn't seem to
cause problems with QGIS upgrade. 

GRASS itself after gdal upgrade looks fine: I keep GRASS svn versions
6.4 (release branch), 6.5 and 7.0, and they all after recompiling on a
new gdal work fine.

I suspect there is a simple error of QGIS not being able to locate GRASS
libraries to activate the GRASS plugin. By default, GRASS (6.2.x)
libraries are located in /usr/lib/grass, while GRASS 6.4.x installs the
libraries into /usr/lib/grass64.

I created a symlink called grass to grass64 in /usr/lib and recompiled
QGIS 1.3 with /usr/lib/grass (the "standard" location). The strange
thing is that GRASS plugin compiles, but it doesn't "show up" in QGIS
afterwards.

Is there any way to correct QGIS configuration so that GRASS plugin
becomes available, or this is a GRASS 6.4 problem?

Thanks,

Hi,
First of all, thanks for your great job to maintain the ubuntugis 
repository. However, I have a problem to run qgis last version (1.2). 
All was working with qgis 1.1, but after updating to qgis 1.2, I can't 
launch qgis anymore and get an error message
"grass fatal error -  Incompatible library version for module. You need 
to rebuild GRASS or untangle multiple installations".
I tried uninstall and reinstall qgis but I still have the problem.
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks by advance for your help,
Yours truly,

Hilaire


ps: my GRASS installation and all the modules also come from the 
repository and were updated simultaneously with qgis
