[GRASSLIST:5130] Debian and d.zoom

Hi,
working on debian woody 3.0r3 with grass54, the d.zoom module do not run if launched by the tcltkgrass interface,
but it works if launched by the command line with "d.zoom" command.
Just to give my "test contribute"...
Thanks, Michele.

Works for me on debian/testing.

What is the specific error?

general plea:

there are a huge number of bug reports lately and it is a busy time of
year. Unless detailed reports are put in the bug tracking system there
is a very good chance they will be forgotten.

It's easy:

A "detailed report" should include your operating system & version,
exact command line or menu choice and exact error message.
Cut-and-paste of terminal output should be included if possible.

thanks,
Hamish

D.zoom works for me too, I made an error and was my intention to say "display Manager" module,
it works by the command line with "d.dm&"; but if launched with the tcltk interface it does not work.
No readable error message, just an "xterm" opens and quickly stops.
I use Debian "woody"-stable-3.0r3 and a compiled from sources grass54.
Thanks, Michele.

Could be the dreaded setuid/setgid xterm unsetting $LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue.
see http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass5/2004-October/015723.html

To test, from the GRASS prompt can you try:

G5.4> echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/src/grass54/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib

G5.4> echo $GRASS_WISH
wish

G5.4> xterm

xterm$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

xterm$ echo $GRASS_WISH
wish

Here $LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not survive but other variables do.

This is fixed (I think) in 5.7-cvs.

workaround:
as root, add this path
G5.4> echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig.
