Hello
I tried using d.m in GRASS 5.7 to display a vector map; on clicking the
'Vector name' button to browse I got the error
bad switch "-directory": must be -nocomplain or --
while executing
"glob -directory $path -nocomplain *"
(procedure "GSelect_::create" line 35)
...
I checked and -directory only seems to be an option for the glob command
in Tcl >=8.3 (I have 8.2 installed).
So I was just wondering
(a) was d.m written with a specific version of Tcl/Tk in mind and
(b) is there a consensus as to what is the optimum
version of Tcl/Tk to use with GRASS 5.7 (I recall problems with NVIZ and
8.4 so is 8.3 the only real option, or have those problems all been
resolved now?)

The version which is on the author's system, probably

I think that we should aim for any 8.x version. I don't expect many
people to still be using 7.x (I'm using RedHat 6.2, which has 8.0.5,
and that's probably considered stone-age by many).

Exactly, and I don't remember which version I had when I was writing d.m :):)
