[GRASS-user] some hints for grass 6.3, now on etch !

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello Hamish, hello all,

thanks for your help. After some work (fossgis.de) I managed to update
my thinkpad to etch and could compile grass63 from actual cvs. I wanted
more recent software :slight_smile:

After starting grass I get the option to choose a location, but then the
gis.m starts for a second and then dissapears.

the message

Welcome to GRASS 6.3.cvs (2007)
GRASS homepage: http://grass.itc.it/
This version running thru: Bash Shell (/bin/bash)
Help is available with the command: g.manual -i
See the licence terms with: g.version -c
If required, restart the graphical user interface with: gis.m
When ready to quit enter: exit
GRASS 6.3.cvs (goettingen):/usr/include/X11 > couldn't execute
"g.region": no such file or directory

after some tries i realized a second install of grass 6.2.1 and this
starts right. after remove this via apt-get
make clean and make distclean new running of .configure and again make
(and make install)
no success.
gis.m fails.
starting a single Monitor and displaying some stuff is no problem.

any idea to find a reason?

Thanks

Greetings Georg

what about gdal installation? it seems that grass is not linked to libgdal.
if gdal library is installed you need to add the path to libgdal library to your ld.so.conf and run ldconfig.
