This requires a change in configure.in:

Should
$SOCKLIB
be added somewhere? I am not sure how to update that.

The prototype for G_ask_datum_name in gisdefs.h is different from the
function in get_datum_name.c

/lib/gis/get_datum_name.c has: "int G_ask_datum_name(char *datum)"

Change /include/gisdefs.h line 520
from: int G_ask_datum_name(char *datum, char *datum)
to: int G_ask_datum_name(char *datum)

In the current CVS versions of 5.0 HEAD and 5.1 it seems to
be fixed:

GRASS 5.1.0-cvs:~/grass51/include > grep G_ask_datum_name ../lib/gis/get_datum_name.c
* G_ask_datum_name(char *datumname, char *ellpsname)
int G_ask_datum_name(char *datumname, char *ellpsname)

GRASS 5.1.0-cvs:~/grass51/include > grep G_ask_datum_name gisdefs.h
int G_ask_datum_name(char *, char *);

You may want to run
cvs up -dP
in both source code directories.

This one I have not figured out:
make is looking for the non-existent file "datumtransform.table" in
/lib/gis. There is a "datum.table", but no "datumtransform.table" Where
should I look?

You have to update 5.0 from CVS, then you get the file.

Thanks for posting the mysql problem,

Markus

Glynn,
may I ask to submit this as I have a really strange problem here:

GRASS 5.1.0-cvs:~/grass51 > autoconf
configure.in:39: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.53

With 2.13 everything worked fine. As I want to use the external
PROJ4 (also a GRASS 5.1 requirement now), I had to upgrade to
Autoconf 2.5x as PROJ4/CVS since some weeks refuses to work with
autoconf 2.13.

But due to this update I cannot generate GRASS's configure any
more.

Do we need an upgrade of "aclocal.m4"? I browsed the web
but didn't find help so far. Is there any initialization to be
defined in configure.in? The file of PROJ4 didn't inspire me...

Glynn,

GRASS 5.1.0-cvs:~/grass51 > autoconf
configure.in:39: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.53

The manual for autoconf 2.57 still lists AC_MSG_ERROR as a valid
macro, so it looks like a problem with your autoconf installation.

http://www.gnu.org/manual/autoconf/html_chapter/autoconf_7.html#SEC88

In any case, I'll submit a fix.

Thanks for the hint. Surprising is that my 'autoconf' works for PROJ4/CVS.
It "just" fails for GRASS. Does this suggest anything 'aclocal.m4' related?

In any case, I'll submit a fix.

Thanks,

Markus
