[GRASS5] [bug #3186] (grass) No generic binary for linux on x86 (GRASS 6.0.0)

I doubt that it's possible to build a generic Linux/x86 version of

But anyway there is a "Generic GNU/Linux (ia32)" for Grass 5.4 and Grass 6.1
CVS snapshot. Will there be for Grass 6.01?

Did you mean "generic Linux/x86" as something else Glynn?

Best,

It's quite some work to generate binary snapshot cronjobs.
We better "simply" release 6.0.1. Apparently there are no big
problems with RC2, so we can get it out next week.

I meant "generic" as in something which actually works on any
Linux/x86 system, rather than something which is merely advertised as
doing so.

If you download the "generic" version from the GRASS website, and run
it on a Linux/x86 system which is substantially different from the one
on which it was compiled, some components (especially NVIZ) may not
work correctly (or at all).
