Fwd message from a colleague of mine who takes care of our linux-systems. This seems to be unusual behaviour:
When compiling from svn, the command sequence
make
sudo make install
installs GRASS to /usr/local, but everything is owned by the user who executed make. Is this desired behavior, or a bug?

A long-standing bug. You can safely "chown -R root:root..."
everything.
The GRASS build process installs everything to a staging directory as
it goes. "make install" just copies the staging directory to the final
location using "tar c ... | tar x ...". Using the "-o" flag when
extracting would prevent the ownership from being preserved when run
by root, but I don't know whether this is portable.

Dear all,
I am trying to update a column in my vector point layer with a raster
value. I have tried v.what.rast. The problem is the number of points I
have are rather large (over 3M in each vector point and 20 vectors!).
Having done a bit of search to see how I can speed up the process, I came
across Markus Neteler's comment back in 2007 in grass-dev mailing list.
http://www.mail-archive.com/grass-dev@grass.itc.it/msg01913.html
Is there any other ways of doing that without using v.what.rast? I am
running grass 6.5 from svn on ubuntu 10.10 64 bit.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Many thanks
Sab
