Distance computing (newbie asking help)

Hi people.

I started using GRASS 4.1 recently, and I think my problem is rather simple
and must have been solved yet . This is a reason why I am asking now for
some advices.

My prob is :

Given a vect file and a point, I would like to generate a rast file where
each pix contains the minimal euclidian distance from this point to the set o
f
vectors defined by the vect file.

Is there an already-existing function I could use ? In the other case,
which primitives should I consider ?

I suppose you can also rasterize the vectors, use r.buffer and
invert the result.
