[GRASSLIST:10339] Error in startup script: couldn't execute "ps.map": no such file or directory - grass6.0.0 on Mandriva 2006

Hello Grass Users,

I had installed grass-6.0.0 successfully on Mandrake 10.0 with
no errors in any modules during compilation.
I have now installed Mandriva 2006 linux OS on my computer.
When i tried to install grass-6.0.0 on Mandriva 2006, it gets installed but when i run grass60
I get following error message:

Error in startup script: couldn't execute "ps.map": no such file or directory
while executing
"exec ps.map -p"
    (procedure "DmPrint::init" line 14)
    invoked from within
"DmPrint::init"
    (procedure "main" line 32)
    invoked from within
"main $argc $argv"
    (file "/home/bnagesh/grass-6.0.0/etc/dm/d.m.tcl" line 894)

So then i tried to manually compile ps.map, it gave the following error

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgrass_I

Later i discovered that in the ~/grass-6.0.0/lib/ the following files and links are not created.
libgrass_Iortho.6.0.0.so*
libgrass_Iortho.so -> libgrass_Iortho.6.0.0.so
libgrass_I.6.0.0.so*
libgrass_I.so -> libgrass_I.6.0.0.so*

Why does this occur?
Does grass-6.0.0 work well on mandriva 2006?

Later i installed grass-6.0.1 and there was no problem in its installation on Mandriva 2006.

Kindly reply with suggestions and solutions.

Nagesh,

Later i installed grass-6.0.1 and there was no problem in its
installation on Mandriva 2006.

So why don't you use 6.01 then? It is exactly the same as 6.0, only it
contains bugfixes that are missing in 6.0. Simply put it is better
and safer. Soon 6.02 should be comming.

Hello Sir,
Thanks for your reply.
As u suggested, eventually i will have to switch to grass-6.0.1 and other higher versions that will be released.
But i wanted to know if anyone else faced the same problem as mine and if grass-6.0.0
works on mandriva 2006 without the error:
??Error in startup script: couldn't execute "ps.map": no such file or directory?
Also i had a few addon modules written which
i was using with grass-6.0.0

Regards
