Fail to install zyGrib on Ubuntu

[pycke]

Hi,

I tried to install zyGrib under Ubuntu, but fail to get the program up and running.

I downloaded the files, unpacked them and then started a terminal session in the directory in which the files were unpacked.

I then entered the command "make", but got the following error

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqwt-qt4
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [zyGrib] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pycke/Downloads/zyGrib-5.0.2/src'
make: *** [zyGrib] Error 2

I then tried to follow the instruction specific to Ubuntu natty and entered the following command

deb http://doc.hausser.ch/debpackages ubuntu-dha natty

No command 'deb' found, did you mean:
Command 'debc' from package 'devscripts' (main)
Command 'derb' from package 'libicu-dev' (main)
Command 'dab' from package 'bsdgames' (universe)
Command 'debi' from package 'devscripts' (main)
Command 'xdeb' from package 'xdeb' (universe)
deb: command not found

I m new to Linux. Can someone please guide me and help how to get zyGrid up and running on my Linux Ubuntu PC ?

Many thanks,

Bart Pycke

Hello,
Just look carefully the download page, packages for debian/ubuntu already exist

The following will do the trick :

Code: Select all

wget http://doc.hausser.ch/debpackages/dha-debpackages.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install zygrib

Hi pycke,

If you're new to linux you should use prebuilt packages (easiest / fastest) but if you feel like jumping in and want to compile from src, this patch worked for me (not sure if this will work for you):

Code: Select all

diff -ru zyGrib-5.0.6-orig//src/zyGrib.pro zyGrib-5.0.6/src/zyGrib.pro
--- zyGrib-5.0.6-orig//src/zyGrib.pro   2011-09-10 08:59:30.000000000 +0200
+++ zyGrib-5.0.6/src/zyGrib.pro 2011-10-05 18:12:50.800772195 +0200
@@ -28,8 +28,8 @@
        ICON = ../img/zyGrib.icns
 }
 else {
-       INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/qwt-qt4/
-       LIBS += -lqwt-qt4
+       INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/qwt/
+       LIBS += -lqwt
        DESTDIR = .
 }
 }

Apparently I can not add the patch as a file to my reply, so here's what you do:

• 1. Copy and paste the code above in your favourite text editor, save it as zyGrib-5.0.6-qwt-qt4.patch in the zyGrib-5.0.6 directory (the one you unpacked from zyGrib-5.0.6.tgz).
  2. cd to the zyGrib-5.0.6 directory in your terminal session.
  3. Type: patch -p1 <zyGrib-5.0.6-qwt-qt4.patch Before running make!
  4. Output from this command should read: patching file src/zyGrib.pro

Regards, and keep learning linux!
