GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is a free Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS is an official project of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. This build aims to provide the most featureful result possible. To obviate multiple databases, the following are omitted in favour of sqlite. mariadb for mariadb (or mysql) database support postgresql for postgresql database support (requires postgresql) unixODBC for ODBC support (requires unixODBC) If one of these is required for some reason, try manipulating the options for the configure comand in the .SlackBuild file. If you need to make grass libraries available to other applications (e.g. qgis) do this: echo /opt/grass/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf && ldconfig
