please forgive me if im being a total n00b.
im installing GRASS using the instructions found here: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install_Ubuntu
when i get to the configuration step:
CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure \
--with-cxx --with-freetype=yes \
--with-postgres=no --with-sqlite=yes --enable-largefile=yes \
--with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.4 \
--with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
--with-python=/usr/bin/python2.5-config \
--with-wxwidgets=yes \
--with-nls --enable-largefile \
--with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj
it stops and gives me this message:
...
checking if system supports Large Files at all... yes
checking whether to use Python... yes
checking for python-config... /usr/bin/python2.5-config
./configure: 16055: /usr/bin/python2.5-config: not found
checking for Python.h... no
configure: error: *** Unable to locate Python includes.i did a search of my filesystem and couldnt find any files with that name, though i do believe i have python installed.
i then ran the following:
CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure -with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.4
and was able to proceed with the installation. while i was able to launch the GUI, it would not read the raster layer of the files. im assuming this is a dependency problem, but im still not quite sure i understand how all this works.
please forgive my ignorance!
