Description
Compiling rasdaman on a freshly installed & updated Ubuntu 8.10 server for the first time and after installing 'build essential' I've had to repeat the cycle:
- run ./configure
- configure halts on missing dependency
- search for package with dependent file
- install package
- repeat from 1
11 times!
My dep list is:
sun-java6-jdk
libssl-dev
libhdf4g-dev
flex
libncurses5-dev
libpng12-dev
lipnetpbm-dev
libreadline5-dev
libtiff4-dev
postgresql-server-dev-8.3
libecpg-dev
If the documentation included a dep list it could have been quickly implemented with a single apt-get install call.

We have improved documentation on that. Dependencies are described on
http://kahlua.eecs.jacobs-university.de/trac/rasdaman/wiki/RequiredPackages . Further, I have added the same text to the installation guide - despite the danger inherent to the redundancy, for the sake of better serving people installing rasdaman.
Thanks again for pointing this out.

I do not think you should have to refer to a second document for the install. All the required information should be in inst-guide.
