error in loading shared libraries

GRASS GRASS user

Hi everybody
I recently installed the binaries from Grass5.03beta It started up fine, but
when I wanted to do something, then I got always the following error message:

error in loading shared libraries
: undefined symbol: __bzero

Pratically with every command from d.mon trough r.whatever produced this
error.
I'm running Grass on SuSE Linux 6.0, with Kernel 2.2.9.

Hmmm... I had this too. It seems that the binary version of
grass5.0.3 runs only with the latest library of RH6.0 Linux
(and I had only a 2.0.30 kernel based old slackware dist).

I resorted to :

- get and compile the latest version of lesstif (no pb), just
  think to put all in /usr, not /usr/local (--prefix options
  in configure)

- the same for MESAGL (things seems also easy)

- beware of your tcl/tk libs, even if you have 8.0. I get some
  compiling problems with 8.0.3, so I compiled tcl/tk8.0.5 and
  put all in /usr (bin, lib, include).

- After that, compiling nviz2.2 was easy, and tcktkgrass run fine

NB: the remaining sources of grass compiled fine without all this
preparation work. But you need a recent version of tcl/tk for
nviz and tcltkgrass.

I have this problem with the grass5-0beta3 binaries
ans SuSe 6.0.

Could anybody let me know what are the requirements in terms
of shared libraries (and other components) that my box
should conform to in order for the binary version
to work?

Note that the www page
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/grass5/binary/linux/REQUIREMENTS.linux
just states:

"REQUIREMENTS to run GRASS GIS on Linux/Intel

A workstation running some flavor with Linux. Ideally,
you should have at least 500 Mb for data and 32 Mb RAM."

and http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/grass5/binary/linux/ says:

"It was precompiled on Linux based on libc.so.6 aka glibc2
(Redhat 5.x/6.x, SuSe 6.x, Debian 2.x...)"

Thanks
