The following instructions describe the compilation and installation of GRASS 6.x (or even 7) and its required dependencies completely from the source on Ubuntu based systems. Please, prefer pre-compiled packages over the manual way described below unless you know what and how, you want to learn and help testing.

Very Important notes

  • Pre-compiled packages and backports are available from UbuntuGIS via their ppa.launchpad repositories. This is by far the simplest and fastest solution. Please prefer it over the manual way described below.
  • To build an updated version of GRASS or support libraries unmodified, in most cases it will be easier to use an automated build tool such as pbuilder, debuild or cowbuilder. See the debian/ directory in the source code for details.
  • Some things change fast and therefore it is expected that the instructions might fail. Please inform the grass-user list in case something just does not work (like for example non-available dependecies/packages from the repositories) or update the wiki respectively.
  • GRASS version 6.5 exists for development purposes for testing features to-be backported to version 6.4. As such it may include unstable code and is not intended for end-users.
  • An alternate method is to use the DebianGIS packaging scripts, which enable a lot of this to happen automatically (see debian/README.debian in the GRASS Subversion source code repository). Specifically, this command will get you 90% of the way there:
sudo apt-get build-dep grass

Hints

  • Installation of a compiled code can be done by using the tool checkinstall (i.e., sudo checkinstall instead of sudo make install) which makes removal of packages easier. If checkinstall fails to deliver please note a related bug: 78455 and 599163. Useful information on the use of checkinstall: Compiling things on Ubuntu the Easy Way.
  • In multi-core processors compilation performance can be boosted with -j switches (e.g. make -j2 or make -j3 or make -j4) which specify the number of jobs (commands) to run simultaneously.

Dependencies

  • for Ubuntu Quantal Quetzal (12.10)

  • for earlier Ubuntu versions, also install:
sudo apt-get install libhdf4g-dev libhdf4g-run
  • create a directory as a simple user where all source code is going to be stored (in this example a directory called src under /usr/local is used)
sudo mkdir /usr/local/src
  • grant rwx (read-write-execute) permissions for our userid/ groupid on the directory (replace words userid and groupid with real userid):
sudo chown userid:groupid /usr/local/src
sudo chmod ug+rwx /usr/local/src

Using pre-compiled dev Packages for PROJ.4, GEOS and GDAL

PROJ.4

Install the dev package (possibly without support for datumgrid):

sudo apt-get install libproj-dev
  • In the call to ./configure for GRASS, replace --with-proj-share=/usr/local/share/proj/ by --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj/


GEOS

Install the dev package:

sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev
  • In the call to ./configure for GRASS, replace --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config by --with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config


GDAL

Install the dev package (possibly without support for datumgrid):

sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev
  • Install also the required extra packages (The following extra packages will be installed:). Look out for packages to be removed by this operation -- this is most likely caused by incompatible package version. Fix these problems in advance using commands like the following:
sudo apt-get install <package>=<required.version>

Compile from source

PROJ4

  • within the directory /usr/local/src (create it if it does not exist) checkout proj from its Subversion repository:
svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/proj/branches/4.8/proj/
wget http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip
mv proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip /usr/local/src/proj/nad
cd /usr/local/src/proj/nad
  • decompress it
unzip proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip
  • go to proj directory
cd /usr/local/src/proj
  • if required, clean previous configuration & compilation
make distclean
  • simple configure, compile and install
./configure  &&  make  &&  sudo make install
  • go to src directory
cd /usr/local/src


GEOS

wget http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.3.5.tar.bz2
  • move to the "source-code" directory and decompress
cd /usr/local/src/
bunzip2 geos-3.3.5.tar.bz2
tar xvf  geos-3.3.5.tar
  • if required, clean previous configuration & compilation
make distclean
  • move to geos directory
cd geos-3.3.5
  • simple configure, compile and install
./configure  &&  make  &&  sudo make install
  • ensure that /usr/local/lib is added to /etc/ld.so.conf and run /sbin/ldconfig afterwards
sudo ldconfig


GDAL

  • GDAL must be compiled without GRASS support
  • download current stable version
svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/branches/1.9/gdal gdal_stable
  • enter in directory gdal_stable
cd /usr/local/src/gdal_stable
  • optionally, update the source code
svn up
  • if required, clean previous configurations/compilations
make distclean
  • a simple configuration without any parameters will detect and support various installed librairies
./configure
  • skip to the compile and install step or check below another customised configuration example
CFLAGS="-g -Wall" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure \
--with-png=internal \
--with-libtiff=internal \
--with-geotiff=internal \
--with-jpeg=internal \
--with-gif=internal \
--with-ecw=yes \
--with-expat=yes \
--with-expat-inc=/usr/include/ \
--with-expat-lib=/usr/lib \
--with-sqlite3=yes \
--with-geos=yes \
--with-python \
--with-libz=internal \
--with-netcdf \
--with-sqlite \
--with-threads=yes \
--without-grass  \
--without-ogdi \
--with-pg=/usr/bin/pg_config \
--with-xerces=yes
  • compile, install & ldconfig
make -j2  &&  sudo make install  &&  sudo ldconfig
  • alternatively, checkinstall can be used instead of make install. A deb package will be created and installed (which can be easily uninstalled)
make -j2  &&  sudo checkinstall  &&  sudo ldconfig


GRASS GIS

Before attempting to compile GRASS, read within the INSTALL file (located in GRASS' source code root directory) section (C) titled (C) COMPILATION NOTES for 64bit platforms.

Getting GRASS' source code

  • get current state of the 6.4.x release branch version (stable)
 svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4 grass64_release

To download under development versions use:

  • for GRASS 6.5 (Note: GRASS version 6.5 is not intended for end-users! It exists for development purposes which should rather take place for GRASS 7.)
svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/develbranch_6 grass6_devel
  • for GRASS 7
svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk grass_trunk
  • for subsequent updates execute:
svn up

Configure, Compile and Install

  • if required, clean previous configuration & compilation (not needed the first time)
make distclean
  • example configuration (which can/should be adjusted according to specific needs):
./configure \
--enable-largefile=yes \
--with-nls \
--with-cxx \
--with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj \
--with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config \
--with-python=yes \
--with-wxwidgets \
--with-cairo \
--with-tcltk-includes="/usr/include/tcl8.5/" \
--with-opengl-libs=/usr/include/GL \
--with-motif \
--with-ffmpeg=yes --with-ffmpeg-includes="/usr/include/libavcodec /usr/include/libavformat /usr/include/libswscale" \
--with-freetype=yes --with-freetype-includes="/usr/include/freetype2/" \
--with-postgres=yes \
--with-postgresql=yes --with-postgres-includes="/usr/include/postgresql" \
--with-sqlite=yes \
--with-mysql=yes --with-mysql-includes="/usr/include/mysql" \
--with-odbc=yes

Note: when not using PROJ 4 from repository, replace above related line with "--with-proj-share=/usr/local/share/proj/ \" (likewise for GEOS)

  • compile & install
make -j2  &&  sudo make install  &&  sudo ldconfig
  • alternatively, checkinstall can be used instead of make install. A deb package will be created and installed (which can be easily uninstalled)
make -j2  &&  sudo checkinstall  &&  sudo ldconfig

GDAL-GRASS-Plugin

wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-grass-1.4.3.tar.gz
  • create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/grass6.conf or add in /etc/ld.so.conf the GRASS library path, i.e. /usr/local/src/grass64_release/lib
  • optionally, clean previous configurations/compilations
make distclean
  • configure -- point to GRASS installation/binaries
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local \
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \
--with-grass=/geo/osgeo/src/grass64_release/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/ \
--with-autoload="/usr/local/lib/gdalplugins/" \
--with-ld-shared="g++ -shared"
  • for GRASS 6.5 replace the respective line above, depending on where the source code in question is stored, with something like
--with-grass=/usr/local/grass-6.5.svn/
  • for GRASS 7
--with-grass=/usr/local/grass_trunk/
  • compile & install using checkinstall
make -j2  &&  sudo checkinstall

Post compilation/installation control

  • in case of errors in future compilation attempts, remember to remove program binaries and files created with the "configuration" from previous compilations with
make distclean
  • another common mistake is compiling a module against some GRASS version and then try to run it through another GRASS version. The solution is to recompile the affected module or, in case there are multiple GRASS installations, set up properly LD_LIBRARY_PATH paths.


Removal of GRASS

To get rid of a GRASS binaries installation, delete

  • /usr/local/grass-6.4.0svn (directory, binaries location)
  • /usr/local/bin/grass64 (file)
  • /usr/local/bin/gem64 (file)
  • /home/username/.grassrc6 (file)


If needed, remove also the source code:

  • /usr/local/src/grass_64svn (directory, source code location)


To remove grass (or any other package) installed by using checkinstall, e.g.

sudo dpkg -r grass64 # package name defined at installation is important
