Something got puckered, not sure if it's fixed yet in CVS, but it has
something to do with the README.ipc thingy. Anyway,

#! /bin/sh
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ; do
  mkfifo -m 0666 "fifo.""$i""a"
  mkfifo -m 0666 "fifo.""$i""b"
done

If you don't have mkfifo, use 'mknod -m 0666 "fifo.""$i""a" p'

You could also try running ./configure --with-fifo explicitly...

Hi all,

I fixed Makefile.in and README.ipc to create "dev" directory before copying
anything into this directory.

Hi all,

I fixed Makefile.in and README.ipc to create "dev" directory before copying
anything into this directory.

Hi Huidae,

shall I release an updated source code package (the binaries are not
affected if using your patch!)?

If you do, then please wait for my changes that implement a binary
uninstall script (grass5uninstall). Hope to get it done today.

O.k. fine. I'll keep watching the CVS channel :slight_smile:

Hi Huidae,

It's not a big change, so i think it's better to announce how to fix this
install problem. Just get new Makefile.in and README.ipc and rerun make.
That's all.

Yours,

That sounds good. It's worth releasing new package after this change.
