PolSARpro on Debian testing
January 19th, 2010 by Melaneum Google+
That’s not the first time that I use PolSARpro, the free software from ESA for SAR polarimetry, but every time, the installation is a bit tricky. Here are the steps to get it running on an update Debian testing.
Install the required packages:
apt-get install bwidget itcl3 itk3 iwidgets4 libtk-img
Follow the instruction in the README_PolSARpro_Install_Linux.pdf file (unzip, run Soft/Compil_PolSARpro_v4_Linux.bat to compile).
Here if you try to run polsarpro, you’ll get an error message (probably depending on which tcl package you have)
version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.4, need 8.5
To solve that, edit PolSARpro_v4.03.tcl and in the 3rd line, replace ‘wish’ by ‘wish8.5′.
That’s it, should be running now !

The error message tells you:
can’t find package BWidget
which probably means that BWidget is not installed. To install it on Ubuntu, you can do:
apt-get install bwidget
but you’ll probably need the other packages mentioned above as well.
