[GRASS5] r.transect ... problem?

GRASS GRASS developer

Hello,

I used r.transect for the first time few days ago. I had some problems,
no output and an error message asking for parameters not recognised
directly by r.transect:

GRASS:~/progetti > r.transect map=dem.tmp result=raw line=10,10,45,100
width=5
ERROR: Either -i flag and/or profile parameter must be used.
GRASS:~/progetti >

Reading the code I saw that r.transect is based on r.profile so it seems
that -i flag and profile parameters requested are coming from r.profile
command.

The output given above is from yesterday's CVS of grass5.0.1 compiled on
a PC running Debian GNU/Linux.

I wonder if it's my fault or a problem in the code.

Thanks in advance,

Alessandro

It's a problem in the code. r.profile was substantially re-written in
January 2001; AFAICT, r.transect won't have worked since then.
