[GRASS-user] Help converting ERIS e00 files

I was able to get my GRASS working last week and have been playing
around a bit with the spearfish data. So far the few things that I
have done have been working up until now. I have gotten some .e00
files that I have tried to convert that do not. When I did try the
conversion, using the GUI method, nothing happend, and when I looked
at the output page it said I needed to install the avce00 (acve00?).
I went to the web site that it gave me and was able to make the files.
I then tried to move the files where it told me they were missing and
it still says I am missing the need program.

Where can I find the needed libraries and where do they need to be
stored? I'm working with SuSE 10.0. This is actually the hardest
part for me since I have tried to install other .rpm files and they
don't seem to work. Would I be better off trying to do a full compile
of GRASS, ie, does the source code have all the needed libraries or do
I still need to find them even after I would do a compile?

I'd also like to thank the people who sent me sites where I could find
data on Ireland, I hope I found more then I will ever need.

Thanks,
Bryan

try putting the avcimport and e00conv programs from avce00 in
/usr/local/bin, and checking that that path is listed in
"echo $PATH"

typing avcimport from the command line needs to start the program...

alternatively, start grass with:

export GRASS_ADDON_PATH=/path/to/avcimport/
grass62
