[GRASSLIST:5679] compile 5.0.1 on redhat 8.0 update

Hi,

Well since I tried redhat 8.0 and precompiled grass5.0.0, grass 5.0.0, grass5.0.1 and the head version of a few weeks ago I'm not getting nice results . I reported some weeks ago already but stil some things are bugging me.

Firstly the man pages are not nicely formatted, furthermore there's strange behavior with unixodbc2.2.3-3 and postgresql-7.2.3-5.80 as I already reported to grass sql list. To refer to latter shortly, I can get cats (number, int) in db but can't select vector based on cat or update any attribute (string) or area etc with v.to.db.
I don't want to go there because it seems a mysterious problem, but I was wondering if anybody tried latter version of postgresql and if it's working fine? (BTW installed everything (redhat8.0, postgresql+updates etc) anew couple of times) The man pages are a mistery to me.

Also I'm using gcc3.2. does it afflict on configure (--with-everything) and compiling. In log file there are numerous occasions with errors like:

configure: failed program was: etc.

or like

/tmp/cccrrH3o.o: In function `main':
/home/sjors/Gis/grass5.0.1/configure:2699: undefined reference to `setruid'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was: etc

I've attached complete config.log to mail. I don't think however it's a big problem as at the end of make it states there are no errors and everything compiled. Well though not completely new to grass and linux, I'm not that far that I can assesss the total impact on compiling. Haven't logged make so I'm not sure if anything goes sour there (BTW how can I do this best, just 'make -d |> file' or something?).

Well I hope somebody can shed some light on the events, I'll keep on ploughing through the mess. I'll keep you informed if anything comes up.

Greetings Sjors

Change line 46 of html/Gmakefile from:

  all: htmlpages g.help-manpages
to:
  all: htmlpages manpages

to install the nroff source instead of preformatted pages.

Error messages in config.log are to be expected.
