[FWTools] Installation of FWTools on Ubuntu (install.sh)

[Tomislav Hengl]

Hi,

I am novel to Ubuntu. I have tried to install FWTools under Linux
[http://home.gdal.org/fwtools/FWTools-linux-2.0.6.tar.gz] and am facing
some problems. First, I discovered that the "./install.sh" needs to be
fixed so it runs on my machine:

"python -O /usr/lib/python2.6/compileall.py pymod /usr/lib/python2.6 bin
tools"

Second, after I run ./install.sh, I get an error message:

------
Listing pymod ...
Compiling pymod/filedlg.py ...
SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('pymod/filedlg.py', 302, 26, '
self.set_policy(as=gtk.FALSE, ag=gtk.FALSE, autos=gtk.TRUE)\n'))
...
Listing bin ...
Listing tools ...
------

but then rest runs through. Finally, I am getting an error message when
trying to add the FWTools path to:

------
thengl at geo:~$ pico .bash_profile
thengl at geo:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/FWTools/bin_safe
thengl at geo:~$ ls
eudem5km.tif
thengl at geo:~$ gdalinfo eudem5km.tif
/home/FWTools/bin_safe/gdalinfo: 9: /home/FWTools/bin/gdalinfo: not found
thengl at geo:~$ cd /home/FWTools/bin
thengl at geo:/home/FWTools/bin$ file gdalinfo
gdalinfo: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, not stripped
------

It seems that I did manage to install FWTools, but I have problems
pointing to the FWtools exe files.

Thanx,
