Hi,
I’m sending this to the grass-dev list since it is more a developer topic.

Hi!
I just solved a long standing issue with GRASS 6.4.3 on my pc, under
SuSE 12.3 linux. I use the GEO repository for all GIS packages.Since long I have not been able to install plugins/add-ons in GRASS,
either through the commandline or the menu (wxpython gui).Yesterday I discovered why! In the standard GRASS 6.4.3 package under
GEO:repository for SUSE 12.3, the g.html2man script is missing! Since
this seems to be essential under the install procedure for addons,
attempts to install add-ons failes!Remedy (for my part); downloaded the sourcepackage for grass 6.4.3;
found g.html2man script and copied it to /opt/grass/tools, and made
scertain it had the right permissions! And now I can install add-ons!
This is a good point that g.html2man is also required when you want to install extensions from addons (probably for all platforms). Moreover, I think that make and compile tools in general are required on unix-like platforms to install (which means in fact compile) extensions from addons.
Regards
larsfPS! How do I communicate this bug to the GEO repository maintainers?
All the packagers should be notified about this. This should be probably part of GRASS compile instructions but I’m not sure where is the right place to put it.
Best,
Vaclav
