All,

I installed the latest GRASS version on red-hat-linux. I also needed to install
the hydro model MMS. MMS is looking for the GRASS library libgis.a but it
doesn't seem to exist anywhere on my system. Why is not there? How can I install it?

Did you install GRASS 5.7? Compiled yourself?

By default GRASS 5.4 and 5.7 are compiled with shared libraries (.so extension)
which minimized the package size.
However, MMS (URL?) wants the statically compiled libgis.a.

An option might be (depending on which GRASS version MMS is based on) to
recompile (only) lib/gis/ as static library.

Edgar,

I've used the MMS (http://wwwbrr.cr.usgs.gov/projects/SW_precip_runoff/mms/) and I don't think it still uses GRASS for anything -- I'd love it if it does. I'm cc'ing George Leavesley at the USGS to see if he can provide a definitive answer.

Regards,
Tom

I installed the 5.7 binaries. Do I have to reinstall compiling the source or
just recompile the already installed? If the last one, how can I recompile?

Thanks for your answer,
Edgar

Tom,
My understanding is Leavesley's group has been developing an interphase for
GRASS during the last years. I know mms runs without GRASS but I'd like to use
the GRASS interphase.

Check out from the following webpage:
http://wwwbrr.cr.usgs.gov/projects/SW_precip_runoff/mms/html/mms_paper.html
"GIS INTERFACE
A geographic information system (GIS) interface is being developed to provide
tools for the analysis and manipulation of spatial data in the pre-process,
model, and post- process components of MMS. Pre- and post-processing interfaces
are being developed as generic interfaces to support a variety of existing GIS
packages. To date, GIS tools have been developed and tested using Arc/Info and
the Geographical Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS) (U.S. Army, 1991).
Functions developed include the ability to (1) delineate and characterize
watershed subbasin areas for distributed-parameter modeling applications, (2)
estimate selected model parameters for these subbasins using digital elevation
model (DEM) data and digital data bases that include information on soils,
vegetation, geology, and other pertinent physical features, (3) generate an MMS
input parameter file from these estimates, and (4) display and analyze the
spatial and temporal variation of selected model results."

Edgar,

compilation of GRASS requires the GRASS (5.7) source code.

You can grab it here:
http://grass.itc.it/download.html#g57
-> 5.7.0 (getting old these days)
-> CVS snapshot
-> CVS

It comes with an INSTALL file.
The source code directories (5.7.0 / snapshot) contain
subdirectories with examples how to run 'configure'
on various platforms (further donations welcome).

The file REQUIREMENTS.html explains the needed extra libraries
such as GDAL, PROJ etc.

Hope this helps

Markus
