[FWTools] FWTools3 Experiment

[Eli Adam]

Frank,

     Thanks, this will make it easier to use more formats on linux.  I
tested Ubuntu 8.04 and had similar results to Even's on CentOS 5.4. 
Ubuntu 10.04 64 went fine.  Details are below.

Frank,

Very cool initiative.

I've just tested the FWTools3-linux-x86_64.tar.gz package on Ubuntu
10.04 
64bit. It works great.

What I have noticed :

1) Expat support is not built. This would be a nice improvement to have
KML, 
GPX, GEORSS support. I see also libmysqlclient, libsqlite3, libogdi
around, 
but not used by libgdal.so

2) I have is with PostgreSQL connections to Unix socket. On my system,
the 
libpq (8.4) tries to open the socket in
/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432 
whereas with FWTools3 it tries to open /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 which does
not 
exist. Adding host=127.0.0.1 to connect through TCP works however.

I've also tried the FWTools3-linux-i386.tar.gz package on the same
system. It 
almost worked at the first try. Most missing 32bit libs were found in 
/usr/lib32 thanks to the compat 32 libs packages. I just needed to find

libgif.so.4 and add it (whereas libgif is included in the x86_64
package). The 
i386 package has working expat and sqlite, and almost working ogdi.
Almost 
working because the "plugins" of OGDI located in ./usr/lib/ogdi must be
moved 
in ./usr/lib to be found

On a CentOS 5.4 32bit, I add to install the unixODBC package to get
libodbc.so 
that is needed by the FWTools3-linux-i386.tar.gz package package.

Best regards,

Even
