To install GRASS, you will likely also need to install the following RPMS: - fftw-2.1.5-5.i386.rpm (version >= 2.1) available at http://www.rpmfind.net (I believe it is also part of Fedora 3 Extras for i386). and the following, all available at http://mappinghacks.com/rpm/fedora/3/ - gdal-1.2.5-mh3.i686.rpm - proj-4.4.9-mh2.i686.rpm - geos-2.1.1-mh2.i686.rpm - ogdi-3.1.1-mh1.i686.rpm The gdal package does require a number of libraries included with PostreSQL. Perhaps the easiest way to satisfy these requirements is to add the application PostgreSQL via Add/Remove Applications under the Applications->System Settings menu. The GRASS RPM is compiled with full database support for ODBC, MYSQL and PostgreSQL; however, to use these databases with GRASS they will need to be installed on your system. MySQL can be installed using Add/Remove Applications as well. Note that fully installing PostgreSQL requires further setup beyond that done by via the automated Add/Removing Applications. See the PostgreSQL website for instructions. This is only necessary if you want to use PostgreSQL with GRASS.
