HI,
I do not manage to get true color support. I installed the png driver
with 24 bit.
But when I 'export GRASS_TRUECOLOR=TRUE' for the PNG monitor the map
legend appears with steps in the color change. In the X-monitors it is
shown correctly with a smooth change in colours.
I guess this is because of non-true colours?
gd-2 and libpng-1.2.5 are installed.
Any ideas how I can achieve the true color support and a smooth gradient
in the legend for the PNG monitor?
Ulrich

Does "d.mon start=PNG" print the message:
PNG: GRASS_TRUECOLOR status: TRUE
If it doesn't, then either the PNG driver was built without
true-colour support, or the GRASS_TRUECOLOR environment variable
hasn't been set correctly.
You can check whether the PNG driver was built with true-colour
support by running "strings" on it and checking for the existence of
the string GRASS_TRUECOLOR in the output, e.g.:
$ strings /usr/local/grass5/driver/PNG | fgrep GRASS_TRUECOLOR
GRASS_TRUECOLOR
PNG: GRASS_TRUECOLOR status: TRUE
