I'll try building the whole of GRASS again, just in case I missed
something and will report back. Thanks for the help so far.
Hi Glynn
I have just completed the make distclean, ./configure, make sequence while ignoring the instructions in Martin's README. Configure and make didn't report errors, however I'm still unsuccessful with building vdigit:
GRASS 6.3.svn (msunduzi_lo31):/usr/local/src/grass_trunk_28012008/bin.i686-pc-linux-gnu > wxgrass
GRASS 6.3.svn (msunduzi_lo31):/usr/local/src/grass_trunk_28012008/bin.i686-pc-linux-gnu >
WARNING: Digitization tool is disabled (No module named grass6_wxvdigit). Detailed information in README file.

Once you've built GRASS, build vdigit manually. The 6.3RC* Makefiles
don't know that the vdigit directory is there, so they won't try to
build it.
Also, I think that you will need to have used --with-python when
configuring GRASS.

Hi Glynn
I understand the need to build vdigit on its own if using 6.3RC*, but my last few attempts have been with 6.3.SVN of 28 Jan 2008. The build process is somehow broken because I can build the whole of GRASS without config or make errors and I find afterwards that the directory: /usr/local/src/grass_trunk_28012008/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/etc/wx/vdigit is empty. If I can't build vdigit along with the rest of GRASS I should really give up at that point because I don't have the know how to build vdigit on its own. Nevertheless you offered advice and so I tried to follow it, filling in the gaps as best I could.
So proceeding from the point of a compiled 6.3.SVN with working wxgrass gui, but no vdigit I populated the empty ./etc/wx/vdigit directory. Next I created the /usr/local/src/grass_trunk_28012008/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/libgdi.so symbolic link and finally executed make in the directory: /usr/local/src/grass_trunk_28012008/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/etc/wx/vdigit. Make failed with the following excerpt from the messages:
/usr/local/src/grass_trunk_28012008/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/include/grass/glocale.h:12:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
make: *** No rule to make target `OBJ.i686-pc-linux-gnu/select.o', needed by `grass6_wxvdigit.so'. Stop.
Don't worry about providing me with further advice on this particular problem (other advice always appreciated ); wxgrass is an interest not a requirement. I need to be able to build vdigit along with the rest of GRASS, so fixing the top-level build mechanism will IMHO be better than trying to help me patch a broken installation.

I feel that rather sooner than later vdigit should be activated by default.
This of course depends on the opinion of martin Landa (who is on
the road right now).
Craig, once Martin is back (AFAIK next week), he will hopefully be able to
provide some assistance. Just stay tuned.
But keep in mind: there is a reason that it is yet disactivated by default:
it's still a prototype.
