Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Looking for Yum or RPM Site for GIS Suite for Centos 5.5
Thanks! I've still got to finish getting the machine built and the RAID system set up and get PostgreSQL sorted out. Then I should be in position to start loading up on GIS tools. I'll probably be asking plenty of questions then. - Bill Thoen . On 9/14/2010 5:41 AM, Mathieu Baudier wrote: Thanks for all the help and advice on this, everybody!

Bill, The EPEL repository has older versions of postgis (1.3.2)/mapserver (4.10) and gdal (1.42). If you want newer versions you will need to look elsewhere.

That article answers questions I haven't even formed yet. This paragraph alone has probably just saved me hours of frustration! The popular server platform, *CentOS*, can be nudged into service as a GIS workstation, but since it’s a 4 year old OS, many of it’s base packages (notably python is still at 2.4 on CentOS 5.5) are just too old to be compatible with the newer desktop applications. By adding the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux _EPEL http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse_ repo you can install GRASS with a recent GDAL. PostGIS and Mapserver are also within an easy “yum install” command. But don’t even bother trying QGIS. Bottom line: CentOS 5 is the correct choice for a GIS database server, but for desktop use, let’s wait for CentOS 6. -- *Bill Thoen* GISnet - www.gisnet.com http://www.gisnet.com/ 1401 Walnut St., Suite C Boulder, CO 80302 303-786-9961 tel 303-443-4856 fax bth...@gisnet.com ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
