Today I recompiled the GRASS sources with the new Tcl/Tk 8.4 and libpng2, but had to revert to Tcl/Tk 8.3 due a to NVIZ compile error, and now gmake5 doesn't make good post-compile modules. wish and related symlinks seem to be pointing back to tcl8.3 versions, and this was done before I compiled the main package.
Not trusting 'make distclean', I uninstalled and started afresh from the .tar.gz package, which goes fine, and I can reinstall and run grass without problems. If I throw my modified module in the source tree before starting, it makes it in and everything works fine.
However, if I later compile a modified module with gmake5, and then copy the new binary to /usr/local/grass5/bin/ (with grass running), strange things start happening.
Specifically, within grass, ANY binary grass module I run will execute my new module, but if I pass the 'help' option, the 'Usage:' line lists the name of the module I tried to run with the rest of the help screen from my module. The only thing that works properly is the new module (which is your only option anyway..).
If I copy back the old binary version of the module from the full compile, everything magically goes back to normal. All this happens even if I never invoke my module during the grass session, which strikes me as odd.
This method of using gmake5 worked fine before the recompile, and it all works fine if I recompile the whole thing with my new module. gmake5 just seems to be linking against the wrong library somehow? could there be a .rc file somewhere that has a bad entry?? Corrupted memory?
The only other thing I changed (that I can think of) was adding -march=pentiumpro to the compile flags.
any ideas?
I'm running Debian/Sarge GNU/Linux 2.4.19, i686, and GRASS 5.0.0.
