I am trying to run GRASS 4.1.5 on Linux with Kang's binary distribution.
Everything seems to run fine except a few commands like r.support,
r.reclass, and perhaps more. I got the following error:
/usr/extra/grass4.1/etc/gis_set: can't load library 'libcurses.so.My linux system has the following configuration:
kernel 2.0.18
gcc 2.7.2
libc 5.3.12
ncurses 1.9.9eI downloaded the libc5.0.9 including the curses library which Kang had
used for his binaries and installed them. Then, I a got different error
message: /usr/local/grass/etc/gis_set: can't resolve symbol
'__waddbytes'.Are there ways to make Kang's binaries work without compiling my own
binaries?
Henry:
I have NO experiecne Compiling GRASS under Linux, but then your probably
do NOT need the extra effort of "patching" the GRASS Code for Linux! I
have successfully run Kang's 4.1.5 ELF Binaries under both Red Hat 3.0.3 &
4.0 by installing the Curses Library:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/misc/libcurses-1.0-1.i386.rpm
With the more recent C Libraries (as used by Red Hat 3.0.3 & 4.0) the
Curses Library was dropped in favor of the NCurses Library? Hence the
reason why moving back to version 5.0.9 of the C Library clears gis_set's
complaint!
