Help installing grass for ubuntu 64 bit

[lucamoiana]

Hello Everyone,

I'm a newbie to ubuntu and I'd like to make it my default OS since I'm impressed by the performances.

In order to do that I need to install grass and qgis on my machine, running ubuntu 64bit.

I checked around but I didn't understand the instruction I gathered from the internet.
When I try to install grass using terminal and "sudo" command I get an arror message saying that some lib are missing libgdal-1.4.0 and libpq 5 and I don't know where to find them and how to install.

I also tried to install qgis from Add/remove software in ubuntu and I get an error message saying that some software conflict is happening and that I have to use an advanced mode to solve it.

Any help is welcome

Thanks

Luca

BigL:

I'm about to try GRASS/QGIS etc installs myself on Dapperx64. Reviews on various gis-sites show lots of install problems.

But my feeling is - if you're willing to sacrifice ANYTHING else on your system then you can FORCE the bugger to work.

Maybe we should chat about install issues ... you can email me at
