grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: gras5..x.x.x
Please enter error description here (and your name)
from Jonas Mockus
Dear GRASS developers and users,
It seems that all the versionns of grass5.x.x.x
are incopatible with linux RedHat-9 distribution,
the incompatibibilities are different but the final
results are complete failure.
I hope that something can be dine torestore comatibility with the
most popular linux versiom,
that can be achieved just by testing new relieses with new linux distributions taha are as free as grass
I attach the short results of my test:
RedHat-9
kernel-2.4.20-9
kernel-source-2.4.20-9
kernel-utils-2.4-8.29
NVIDIA_GLX (GeForce 2 MX)
