Subject: can't make on grass5.0.1 on X11 (Mac)
Platform: other
grass obtained from: Other (CDROM etc) Grass 5.0.0v2 from OpenOSX
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 5.0.1Please enter error description here (and your name)
I have downloaded the update 5.0.1 from baylor site, but ./configure finished with
configure: error: *** Unable to locate Tk includes.
make
returns
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
I have also tried make Makefile.in
returns
make: Nothing to be done for 'Makefile.in'.
so trying make install
returns
make: Nothing to be done for 'install'
I am a little lost as to where I can repair this.

I think your best bet is to download the source code and configure it yourself. You need to use something like this "./configure --with-includes=/sw/include --with-opengl-includes=/usr/X11R6/GL/include --without-pgsql --without-gdal --without-obdc"
if no errors then "make"
if no errors then "sudo make install"
This assumes that you installed the long list of requirements such as jpeg, png, tcl/tk, etc, through fink. If you compiled all of those on your own then you'll probably need ..=/usr/local/include, instead of /sw/include.
I could not get gdal to compile. There is problem with the ranlib and/or libtool in /usr/bin. It wants to make a shared library for gdal rather than a static library.
Last Fall I was able to make basically a grass demo, but without gdal for importing geographic raster data, grass is pretty much useless to me. Back then I had to change a couple words in the in source code of grass 5.0.0 but since I've found answer to the malloc bug at http://homepage.mac.com/samchops/MACOSX/macosx.html, and perhaps that is no longer neccessary with 5.0.1. If you are trying to learn how to compile on OS X the above link might be of some help. If you install the binary postgres installer from http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ Then you'll have includes in two different places so you'll need to do something like --with-postgres-includes='/usr/local/pgsql/include /usr/local/pgsql/include/...' . There are instructions for all of this in the archives on this grass list site from Sept and Oct/2002. Unfortunately, I did not make sense of the gdal threads, but it didn't look to me like the person from OpenOSX.com got an answer to that question. And at the time he was asking the question, his cds were already for sale. I doubt his $50 GRASS cd has gdal integration either, and the binary installer for GRASS which he provides to the GRASS sites also does not include gdal. Open source software should be free and I've read nothing good about OpenOSX products on versiontracker.com.
If there is a way to get gdal to compile correctly then I will figure it out soon. Good Luck,
Eric
