[GRASS-user] odd question

Perhaps I'm missing something quite obvious, but I recently compiled the Grass 6.2 RC3 and I can't find many of the basic commands (eg g,copy, g.list, g.manual...) However there are many command still there (eg. g.access, g.ask, g.filename...).

I looked through the source tarball and it appears that those commands don't have .c files and such. Am I doing something wrong when I download/compile Grass? Or, have many of these commands been deprecated? Or am I not understanding something else?

Thank you,

David Forero

They are in general/manage/cmd, except for g.manual which is a script is therefore in the scripts/g.manual directory

check error.log

Or, have many of these commands been deprecated?

no

Or am I not understanding something else?

Probably something went wrong during compile, but you have to check error.log. Or go into general/manage/cmd, launch make and check for relevant error messages.
