What you have below is great. Just one thought here though. In the scripts folder there is a script file <get-maptools.sh> that pretty much installs everything. Is this going to go away? I think it sure made the install easy. Gives you all the needed libraries. Steve/WM5Z
It might be just me, but I like to install as much as possible from the repositories for the applicable distribution, and then if there is anything left, use the get-maptools script to make up the difference. That looks like the approach taken in the HowTo:Ubuntu 6.10 or 7.04<http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:Ubuntu_6.10>. With OpenSUSE, I was able to get everything from the repositories, so there was no need to use get-maptools.sh. With other distributions, it might be best to use the get-maptools script either as is or slightly edited depending on what is or is not available in the repositories and/or how difficult it is to locate the right repositories. Of course, it also depends on what libraries the person installing actually needs.
