MB System is a toolset of mainly commandlineprograms for the processing of bathymetrical data.

For gridding or the generating of maps, MB System uses GMT (Generic Mapping Tools), so GMT is one of the few things, that have to be installed first.

GMT itself also needs several libraries, so the whole installation may take a while. For OpenSuse, there is a Repository, from where most of the needed libraries can be installed with the packetmanager.

Suse 12.3
Before you can start the installation of MB System, GMT has to be installed. For OpenSuse (and other Linux-Distributions) there are two ways to get the software. The easy way is to install it from the GEO Repository. The other possibility is, to use the Installationform, provided by the GMT Homepage. There, you can download the sourcecode of GMT and create a parameterfile for the compilation process. The steps are:

1) install the requirements of GMT (Gdal/GEOS, proj4, NetCDF and so on as described on the GMT Page). By the way, most of required and optional libraries can be installed via the packetmanager from the GEO Repository. GMT can be installed from there too.

2) download the GMT-Tarball with the sourcecode and extract it to your filesystem

3) create a parameterfile with the webform on the GMT Page. You can run the installationscript without a parameterfile. Then the script runs in interactive mode and you'll be asked for all the parameters on the commandline.

4) run the compilation script with your parameterfile and keep your fingers crossed.

If nothing went wrong, you now have GMT on your system and you can proceed with MB System. Basically, after downloading and extraction of the MB System sources it is just configure - make - make install. It could be, that the compiler does'nt find all the needed headerfiles. Give the full path to the libraries it complains about about and you should be fine.
