Is it me or OS GIS is far too complicated to install in ubuntu?

Why I am sayingis because I am trying to install in my new ubuntu but I find it very hard to do it?

What am I doing wrong?

Is there any website with easy steps to follow and install OS GIS?

The other day, I was after for a website that really focus on innovation trents of GIS in the future and I stopped on the following website

http://www.innovativegis.com

Joseph Berry, you might know him from his great articles in GeoWorld, set up a wonderful website that covers everything you need to know about the Geospatial Information Technologies. Many respected GIS scientists also have contributed with articles and presentations. Dave Bouwman is one of them. Dave Bowman is going to give a presentation on Agile methodologies to manage GIS projects . These presentations are part of the Special Topics in GIS Modeling of the Department of Geography, University of Denver.  Don’t miss.

Yes. That’s it.  2008 is here and challenges are comming one after the other. For example, I am working with schematics (ArcGIS) tool at the moment  and  I found it a quite useful application. I wouldn’t say that is a simple extension as far as I can see,  and I am trying to find some tutorials or articles or even working papers that are fully implemented in Arc Schematics.

 I study the arcTutor’s Tutorial but I didn’t find it useful so far in terms of suggesting some  standard methodology that is good to be followed. So, any help will be appreciated. In a later post,  I will try to demonstrate how the schematics  tool is working and then you might be able to correct me or you can do some recommendations.

Thank you and Happy new year.

This a comment from Anestis. I am doing this post on his behalf. Any help will be appreciated.

‘Ok, so here is the thing…I’ve created a table named ‘objects’:

obj_id number
name varchar(32)
shape MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
timeslot number

In it I store points (MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE) that change their coordinates randomly as time goes by. So for instance I now have stored 100 objects for 60 timeslots, that is 6000 records.

What I really wanna do is to visualise those points in a website moving. After a little research I started using Oracle MapViewer. I installed it and I used jview.jsp demo successfully.

What I wanna do has the following logic:

for (t=0;t

ok, tags issues…What I wanna do has the following logic:

for (t=0; t is less than max_number_of_timeslots; t++)
select shape from objects where timeslot=t;

Is there a way to do this?

thanx

I wanna do that in order to create motion. As if the objects are moving’
