[GRASS5] Help:how to run 3d_module on alpha(compaq ds-10)

Hi..
I'm a student studying the Grass.. but,
d.3d module doesn't run with spearfish database on the alphaserver(compaq ds10).
The error message is followed:

   'Floating point exception'

and exit module.

I think that the module doesn't run because spearfish data is not 64-bit.

Tell me how to run 3d module ....

I have the resources to fix this, I just haven't explored it yet.

I work for Compaq and I have an Alpha running Debian Linux, and another
running Compaq Tru64 UNIX. Which operating system were you using on the
DS10 to generate this error? Which compiler?

I need to spend a few moments starting up a cvs checkout, as soon as I
find where the CVS server is and what the anon login is. :wink:

Thanks, "cvs -z3 co grass" is working.
I hope. It is taking a long time to get moving ...

# cvs -z3 co grass
cvs server: Updating grass
U grass/COPYRIGHT
U grass/GPL.TXT
U grass/INSTALL
U grass/Makefile.in

Is this delay normal? Been 30 minutes now.

Hi James, hi all,

the university network system, where
the CVS server is linked, was spammed one week ago.
The infrastructure is not yet completely up-and-running,
therefore the CVS is slow. We all hope they fix it soon.

Sorry for any inconvenince

Markus,

The problem was reproducible as a complete freeze within ten minutes
of starting the checkout.

Actually, I did a tcpdump to figure out what was happening. The
connection stalled as soon as selective acknowledgments were sent
by my end. I suspect my ISP may have a broken router or something.

When I turned them off on Linux, it all worked fine.

echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack

The checkout finished okay.

I'm surprised "make" doesn't actually do the compilation.
Why is that?

The "make install" took 56 minutes on my machine. At the end it
suggested a few other things to be done. Shouldn't it do it all
for me? It said;

* Finally run 'gmakelinks5' to finish the installation process.

But there is no gmakelinks5 present; "find . -name gmakelinks5"
gives me nothing. But it is present in /usr/local/bin ... ah.

On activating it I get a lot of "Creating link" output. But I
got that from the "make install" anyway.

Hi James,

.. from the INSTALL file:
"The 'make' command at time only generates a few internal files."

Reason is that GRASS needs *full* autoconf - some more work.

The "make install" took 56 minutes on my machine. At the end it
suggested a few other things to be done. Shouldn't it do it all
for me?

In my opinion it is better like this as the modules not compiled
by the script are highly dependent on MESA, tcl/tk and other stuff.
If we would include it, many others (who don't have installed MESA etc.)
would complain: why does it not compile?

It said;

* Finally run 'gmakelinks5' to finish the installation process.

But there is no gmakelinks5 present; "find . -name gmakelinks5"
gives me nothing. But it is present in /usr/local/bin ... ah.

So /usr/local/bin is not in your path. Call it:
/usr/local/bin/gmakelinks5

On activating it I get a lot of "Creating link" output. But I
got that from the "make install" anyway.

O.k., there might be a bit of inconsistency. But gmakelinks5 does
not break anything. So it does not matter to run it twice.
You will have to run it always after manually compiling a new module
for GRASS.

We would be glad to find someone taking care for a full "autoconf"
and "make" working as expected. You are welcome to help!

Best wishes

Markus
