Install qgis 1.6.0 error due to newer netcdf package - Ubuntu 10.10

You can get qgis 1.6 with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jef-norbit/qgis-unstable-ubuntugis-jef; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install qgis

Does that solve the issue?

That particular PPA has an older version of qgis - 1.5. Again getting qgis via ppa won't be difficult since there is ubuntu-gis ppa also. But they have grass as a dependency again. I however use a svn version of grass. So all these problems have arisen.

It was built 10 days ago:
https://launchpad.net/~jef-norbit/+archive/qgis-unstable-ubuntugis-jef?field.series_filter=

Want to check??

I am really sorry, I did a direct search on google and had landed on the page for qgis-stable ppa of same person.

Let me check it once I go home.

As you suggested I added the above PPA and tried installing qgis. But now I get more errors:

chethan@chethan-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install qgis

No, run:

sudo apt-get -f install

Not:

sudo apt-get -f install qgis

Also somehow if I install qgis using these routes, I am sure I won't be able to use gdal tools in GRASS GIS svn version what I am using since there again I get errors like:

gdal_translate: error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdf.so.4: cannot

ok you can clean that using:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get -y upgrade; sudo apt-get clean

Can you also give the output of:

ls /usr/lib/libnetcdf*

Thanks

i alway use this method to install qgis into Ubuntu http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Download#Ubuntu

Required output:
chethan@chethan-desktop:~$ ls /usr/lib/libnetcdf*
/usr/lib/libnetcdf.a /usr/lib/libnetcdff.so
/usr/lib/libnetcdf_c++.a /usr/lib/libnetcdff.so.5
/usr/lib/libnetcdf_c++.so /usr/lib/libnetcdff.so.5.0.0
/usr/lib/libnetcdf_c++.so.5 /usr/lib/libnetcdf.so
/usr/lib/libnetcdf_c++.so.5.0.0 /usr/lib/libnetcdf.so.6
/usr/lib/libnetcdff.a /usr/lib/libnetcdf.so.6.0.0

@Marco I used to use that method before, but now since I am using SVN Version of GRASS I can't install only QGIS from that PPA. It requires me to install GRASS from PPA as well.

try:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libnetcdf.so.6 /usr/lib/libnetcdf.so.4

Then retry

FYI i have (on 3 ubuntu 10.04.2 32 bits pc at work, not here) official qgis plus the svn trunk that i compile and use every day...

I have got past that error and am solving other dependency issues and moving forward with 'make'. Now I am sure things will work as expected.

@Marco I was able to install QGIS from source in my college PC running Ubuntu 10.04.2 64-bit without any issues, but here at home I have Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. Yesterday I had discovered that in LTS version it is still the older build of libnetcdf, i.e., 1:3.6.3-1 whereas in 10.10 it is the newer version 1:4.1.1-5.

So please try to create symbolic link as actionparsnip suggest to you...

i'm trying here @home on a 10.10 installed qgis right now and i have no issue

dpkg -l | grep -i libnetcdf

Sorry, this is not related to the question above but I thought its worth posting since I get in my process of running 'make':

[ 86%] Built target wfsplugin
Linking CXX shared module libgeorefplugin.so
c++: /usr/bin/gsl-config:: No such file or directory
c++: not: No such file or directory

make[1]: *** [src/plugins/georeferencer/CMakeFiles/georefplugin.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

As per the output I obtained for;
chethan@chethan-desktop:~$ apt-file search gsl-config
libgsl0-dev: /usr/bin/gsl-config
libgsl0-dev: /usr/share/man/man1/gsl-config.1.gz
lush-library: /usr/share/lush/packages/gsl/gsl-config.lsh

I have installed libgsl0-dev and lush-library. Still the error persists. Any idea why it is so?

is this the very first time you try to compile grass from svn on this pc ?

Please try to install/reinstall libgsl0-dev

from terminal type:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgsl0-dev build-essential

Then also check the file is in the requested path type:

ls -la /usr/bin/gsl-config

No this is not the first time.

I get the same error again.

The file appears to be in the right path
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1239 2010-05-10 06:11 /usr/bin/gsl-config

try

sudo ldconfig

No luck. Again its the same.

Since you are referring to Grass you can chieve better answer by asking on http://www.ces.iisc.ernet.in/grass/devel/index.php#compile

Not grass. Its all qgis problems. I had mentioned grass just to say that I use grass along with qgis. Since actionparsnip suggested me to install qgis from ppa I had mentioned about problems I might face with gdal tools in grass - libnetcdf.so.4 error.

http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Building_QGIS_from_Source

please consider to use the ccmake utility

i must go to bed now tomorrow i will post here my ccmake command line to compile the sources...

Ok sir, no issues. Even I have to leave for college. Will check it in the evening.

This trick worked. I ran 'make clean' and then ran 'ccmake .' followed by 'make' and 'sudo make install'. I received no errors in the process. Now QGIS works fine.

Thanks a lot @actionparsnip and @Marco for your timely guidance.

I'd say this was Marco's ;)

Way to go duder.

Glad you got the gold too :)
