Hi all,
I've got another problem again. Since I had so much trouble with getting
g.extension to work and never managed to get the add-on I desperately need
to compile (r.area), I'm trying it now with GRASS compiled from source. I
tried GRASS 7 and now I've tried GRASS 6.5, both with the same results.
I'm running OpenSUSE 11.3, 32 bit. Since the problem's been the same with 7
and 6.5, I'll show the more recent terminal outputs from 6.5.
Installed the latest 6.5-svn code from
http://grass.itc.it/grass65/binary/linux/snapshot/. Here's how I did it:
- Downloaded grass-6.5.svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-07_08_2010-install.sh
and grass-6.5.svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-07_08_2010.tar.gz into the same
directory
- Ran
sudo sh grass-6.5.svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-07_08_2010-install.sh
grass-6.5.svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-07_08_2010.tar.gz
GRASS installed itself with the following output:

Welcome to GRASS GIS. Enjoy this open source GRASS GIS!
So far so good, although the inability to execute g.mkfontcap did worry me.
Then I started GRASS with the command grass65 and got the following output:

Now matter what I do, this same problem keeps on coming up.I don't know what
to do. I've got wxpython installed (for GRASS 7 it complained about now
having that - I reinstalled my system completely since I've last written and
hadn't installed it, but not it's on there with the development files so it
should be okay). Any ideas? I get the same error message with GRASS 7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a bunch in advance,
Daniel
