[Gvsig_english] gvsig in ubuntu

[Francisco José Peñarrubia]

Bad news about ubuntu.

It seems this is not the only problem to be part of ubuntu. There is a 
work group dedicated (gvSIG people + ubuntu people) to this issue, and 
there are other libraries with problems.
They are already trying to solve all this problems, and it would be 
difficult to change all for 1.9.1..... maybe in 2.0, then.

Best regards.

Fran.
