Neither Grass nor Gdal Build Because They Depend on Each Other

Build fails for databases/grass and gdal (or gdal-grass). Grass build fails because it requires gdal. Gdal fails because it requires grass.

When trying to build databases/grass, I get:

Code: 
configure: error: --with-grass=/usr/local/grass requested, but libraries not found!
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to [email]sunpoet@sunpoet.net[/email] [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/graphics/gdal/work/gdal-1.6.0/config.log" including the output
of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide
an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).

When trying to build gdal or gdal-grass (I've tried each):

Code: 
configure: error: --with-grass=/usr/local/grass requested, but libraries not found!
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.

*** Error code 1

I have my make config "WITH GRASS SUPPORT" checked in gdal. gdal-grass has no options to configure. gdal-grass has the same make build error. Before trying make build for each of the ports, I tried portmaster databases/grass ... that failed building gdal with the same configure error message.

Is this a simple redundancy that can be fixed by installing gdal w/o grass then installing grass, then possibly rebuilding gdal w/ grass support (or otherwise pass some option to make), or more complicated? Should I contact the port maintainer or is this a FreeBSD ports issue?

I don't see anything obvious in /usr/ports/graphics/gdal/work/gdal-1.6.0/config.log but if its important to this particular dependency situation, I'd be happy to upload it to a place of your choosing.

I read through the dependencies and Makefiles, and I suggest:

1. install gdal without grass support
2. install grass (it requires gdal to build)
3. deinstall gdal
4. install gdal with grass support

And yes, the maintainer should be aware of this cyclic dependency. When building gdal with grass support, it requires /usr/local/grass, but that gets created by building grass, which depends on gdal. Etc.

i have to disable php option for gdal as well in order to completely install gdal.
am now re installing gdal with grass support.

anyway, many thanks for your reminding of this cyclic dependency.

gdal withgrass support is completed but when i start grass62, i got this error.

   1) Have at your side all available GRASS tutorials

   2) When working on your location, the following materials
      are extremely useful:
      - A topo map of your area
      - Current catalog of available computer maps

   3) Check the GRASS webpages for feedback mailinglists and more:
      [url]http://grass.itc.it/[/url]

If you're building from source, can you # pkg_add -r grass gdal and then use portmaster or portupgrade to get to the most recent version? Or is that just an alcohol-infused hallucination?

thanks indeed for your time but errors that always given when i invoke grass62 is still annoying me.

there is no problem with installing now after gdal-without-grass, grass, gdal-with-grass-support cycle.

am looking at tcl,tk now but i have no knowledge with these two things. so when those errors will disappear .

many thanks once again.
 
hi sirs,

i have just , by chance, realized that only root can run grass62 and entering graphic mode without errors that i faced.

very strang indeed.

apologized me for disturbing the forum again and again.
