The recent change to soft links seems to cause problems
also in 5.3. I just received a mail from a user who
downloaded the auto-generated CVS-Linux-binaries from the GRASS site.
Obviously the links are not set correctly (example):
/usr/local/grass53/bin/g.gisenv-> /hardmnt/grass0/neteler/grass_cvs_53exp_pserver_latest/grass-build/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/etc/front.end
It seems more work is needed to make soft links possible (with shared
libs). I'll revert the change for now.

OK, maybe it's not related to shared libs.
Probably we should change
src/CMD/generic/MAKELINKS.sh
ln -s $GISBASE/etc/front.end $GISBASE/bin/$i
to use relative links instead of $GISBASE?

Oops. These should be relative links, i.e.:
/usr/local/grass53/bin/g.gisenv -> ../etc/front.end
Try the attached patch (I don't have time to fix it in CVS right now).

Currently I have no 5.3 which I can use to try.
Anyone else who can confirm that the proposed patch is ok?
Or, we submit it to CVS and see what happens.

Thanks. I have committed an equivalent change to 5.7.
