[GRASS-user] Error compiling vdigit support in wxgrass: make cannot find -lgdi

Hi,

I'm compiling vdigit support in wxpython Grass. I passed the --with-python and --with-wxwidgets flags during configure, with no errors.

make exits with one error:

<snip>
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdi
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [OBJ.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/_grass6_wxvdigit.so] Error 1

Does anyone know what library/package name this -lgdi refers to? In Ubuntu Synaptic, the only hit for "gdi" or "python gdi" is a package called python-egenix-mxbeebase, and installing this package doesn't seem to satisfy this dependency, after running make distclean and recompiling.

Any idea what's wrong?

take a look at gui/wxpython/README

-> 7 - DIGITIZATION TOOL

it is just a link to wxPython extension, still unsolved issue. You
need to create a symlink for now.

Thanks for the link. I created a symlink to the file in question:

$ cd /usr/local/lib
$ ls -rlt

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 64 2008-04-23 09:15 libgdi.so -> /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_gdi_.so

However, when I try to run the vdigit module in the map display window, I get an error with the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/grass-6.4.svn/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/to

ops, I introduced this bug yesterday when I was updating 'toolbars'
module, now should be fixed.

Thanks, I've tested it and it works great. Nice job!
