This is in Debian sid AMD64 (with grass-dev installeds, I
don't understand why gis.h is not found),

it should be there,
  http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/grass-dev/filelist

ls will confirm :slight_smile:

where the /build path doesn't exist.
What variable needs to be passed to 'make' to set that
/build path so as not to create such top level directories
beyond GRASS that might pollute the system? Thanks.

is some enviro variable missing so that $VARIABLE/build/.../
becomes ""/build/... which tries to create a subdir off the
root dir which fails for a normal user account? (and since it
is broken, please don't try as root because who knows what
will happen :slight_smile:

Yes, these files are certainly there, but somehow are not found when
building.

Digging a bit, I found:

,-----[ /usr/lib/grass64/include/Make/Platform.make (lines: 66 - 70) ]
| # GRASS dirs
| GRASS_HOME = /build/buildd/grass-6.4.0~rc4
| RUN_GISBASE = /build/buildd/grass-6.4.0~rc4/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
| RUN_GISRC = ${ARCH_DISTDIR}/demolocation/.grassrc${GRASS_VERSION_MAJOR}${GRASS_VERSION_MINOR}
`-----

so this seems hard-coded, unless something like:

make MODULE_TOPDIR=/usr/lib/grass64 GRASS_HOME=/usr/lib/grass64 \
    RUN_GISBASE=/usr/lib/grass64

could actually work?

(and since it is broken, please don't try as root because who knows
what will happen :slight_smile:

... I was a bit reckless there, but it seems the only wild stuff was the
creation of the /build tree! Thanks.

Cheers,
