Dear GRASS Gurus, I'm using GRASS GIS for research and teaching on a server with a rather old Linux (RHEL6). We use GRASS GIS for processing satellite images (LANDSAT8) which is the main motivation to update to grass72.
I've compiled grass from source up to version 7.1 but unfortunately I get compilation errors compiling grass72 or higher (the configure script does not complain about any problems). It seems the compilation problems may be related to the rather old matplotlib (0.9x) while grass requires matplotlib > 1.2. As a result, the GRASS GUI crashes after the startup. Of course it may be possible to compile matplotlib from source, which however requires a higher version of numpy which in turn requires at least python2.7x instead of the installed python 2.6x. Not necessary to say that after compiling and installing python2.7x the wxPhyton libs would also require an update ... ! At that point I ended up compiling grass72 on RHEL6. I'm just wondering if there is a standalone version of GRASS GIS for Linux, similar to the Windows version, where all libs are statically linked and packed together. Any ideas how to bring grass72 or the bleeding edge 7.3 up and running on RHEL6. cheers Jörg
