Dependencies

  • Should libreadline5 and libreadline5-dev be changed to libreadline6 and libreadline6-dev for newer versions of Ubuntu?
  • libhdf4g-run has been superseded in recent versions of Ubuntu. This should be noted in the article.

GDAL

  • Option --with-sqlite is not recognised and should be deleted.
  • Should libxerces-c-dev be made one of the dependencies? --with-xerces=yes returns a warning that library files are not found.

checkinstall

Folks, please keep the instructions of installing by using checkinstall. It is a very good way to keep things "cleaner" when it comes to uninstall stuff. Instead of removing the instruction(s) for checkinstall, add the (traditional way) "make install" instruction.

Except if there is a good reason for not using checkinstall. If there is, please explain.--Nikos 04:06, 24 November 2010 (PST)
