[GIS] Unable to install QGIS, libnetcdf.so.7 not found

installationqgisUbuntu

I recently updated my system from Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty tahr) to Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS (Xenial Xerus).

While installing QGIS I get an error message:

/usr/lib/qgis/crssync: error while loading shared libraries: libnetcdf.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I updated the repositories:

sudo apt-get update

and installed the latest version

sudo apt-get install libnetcdf-dev

While checking the installation of the library I found that libnetcdf.so.11 is installed

Checking out the available repositories for Xenial for ibnetcdf at:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libdevel/libnetcdf-dev

I found that the available library is: libnetcdf11 (= 1:4.4.0-2) which corresponds with the libnetcdf.so.11 file I found.

What do I do in order to install libnetcdf.so.7 and fulfil the dependencies for QGIS?

I checked out the situation and I had a conflict between two installed gdal installations.

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove gdal-bin

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove libgdal

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove libkml-dev


sudo find /usr/local/bin/ -name 'gdal*' -delete

sudo find /usr/local/lib/ -name 'libgdal*' -delete

from a post at: http://r-sig-geo.2731867.n2.nabble.com/Problems-with-installing-rgdal-on-Ubuntu-quot-checking-gdal-linking-with-libs-only-no-quot-td7590255.html

then I ran a fresh gdal installation:

sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev

Then:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grass

Seems to work just right

[GIS] How to install pgRouting on PostgreSQL 9.2 located at /opt/PostgreSQL/9.2/ on Ubuntu Server 12.10

You can't install pgrouting for PostgreSQL 9.1 into PostgreSQL 9.2. Even if you could install the package without downloading all of 9.1, it wouldn't work, it'd just be unavailable - totally invisible to Pg 9.2.

If PgRouting is not included in EDB's StackBuilder you will need to build it from source code according to the instructions on the PgRouting website. See the source code readme for guidance on this process. When compiling pgrouting, you may need to add the appropriate pg_config to the PATH, e.g:

PATH=/opt/PostgreSQL/9.2/bin:$PATH

Alternately, you could use the PGDG packages of PostgreSQL for Ubuntu instead of the EDB installer. That will get you PostGIS and PgRouting for PostgreSQL 9.2 (or 9.3) via apt-get. See http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt . This will do a new PostgreSQL installation - it won't use your existing database in /opt, so you will need to do a pg_dump and then restore the DB if there's any data you want to keep. It won't delete or replace the DB in /opt, it'll just create a new PostgreSQL on a different port, probably 5433.

[GIS] Installing QGIS with GRASS plugin on Ubuntu

To install the lastest stable QGIS and GRASS 6 I use:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://qgis.org/debian trusty main'
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv DD45F6C3
gpg --export --armor DD45F6C3 | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grass grass-gui grass-doc

The keycodes are taken from the QGIS page. You'll then need to turn on the GRASS plugin in the QGIS plugins menu. You can wrap this up in an install script so each time you have a fresh install you can run the script you wrote previously, an example of my own is here.
