[GRASS5] [bug #1364] (grass) pre compiled binaries for IRIX does not work

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=1364
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: pre compiled binaries for IRIX does not work

Platform: other
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 5.0.0pre5

The precompiled binaries installed just fine, however when you run grass it does not
recognize the <esc> <enter> sequence.

I have tried to run it from the origin2000 console and O2 workstation and a PC running the XWin32 program.

We have no problem with the precompiled binaries for version 5.0beta11 as it runs fine.

This bug has been fixed in the current CVS version (although the arrow
keys now do not work, but that is a minor inconvenience).

The workaround is not to start GRASS from an IRIX winterm, but from an
xterm or other terminal emulator.
E.g. type
xterm&
and in the new window that opens, type
grass5

The Esc and Enter keys will work in the xterm.

This is exactly the same as bug number 1240

This is getting even more strange.

The recent changes to the vask library disable the use of keypad() if
configure fails to detect that function. If keypad() is detected, it
will be used. If the system doesn't provide that function, then I
would have expected that the original code would simply fail to link,
rather than resulting in problems at run-time.

The changes were actually made in response to a problem with MacOSX,
reported on GRASSLIST by Michael O'Dell [GRASSLIST:4655]. There, any
programs which used vask failed to link due to an undefined symbol
error for keypad.
