Hallo
I compiled grass60 from source code today. The compilation process works
well without any error messages.
I try to start grass60 with the command grass60 and the following messages
appears:
WELCOME TO GRASS Version 6.0.0 2005
1) Have at your side all available GRASS tutorials
2) When working on your location, the following materials
are extremely useful:
- A topo map of your area
- Current catalog of available computer maps
3) Check the GRASS webpages for feedback mailinglists and more:

Hit RETURN to continue

Hi Duster
This is precisely the problem I encountered and mentioned to the list
last week. You MUST have nviz and therefore opengl also, in order for the grass6 gui to work. These items are NOT optional, contrary to the statements in the "requirements" on the grass6 web page.
Although the REQUIREMENTS states that you do not have to compile nviz -
in fact you DO need to compile Nviz to get the grass6 gui to work .
Without nviz, you get this error message. You need to recompile and
ensure that you build nviz.
And perhaps the reason you did not build nviz was because you do not
have opengl on your system. That will prevent nviz from building. (That
is the problem I had). You will have to ensure you have opengl (see the
link to mesa on the requirements page if you need an opengl) and compile
it then rebuild grass to solve this error problem.
Opengl and nviz were NOT required in grass 5 - but in grass 6 they are
DEFINATE REQUIREMENTS if you require the GUI interface.
Check the end of the configure output and make sure it is including nviz. In your grass6 installation directory you should have directory nviz within the docs directory, eg /usr/local/grass6/docs/nviz. Without nviz, there is no nviz directory within docs and the grass6 gui will not work.

here is the error I received before I built nviz:
solidus{kgb}621: grass6 -gui

Error in Tcl/Tk startup. If necessary, please
report this error to the GRASS developers.

Please check the contents of
/usr/local/grass-6.0.0/
It should be something like this:
AUTHORS
bin/
bwidget/
COPYING
demolocation/
docs/
driver/
etc/
fonts/
grass60.tmp*
include/
lib/
locale/
man/
README
REQUIREMENTS.html
scripts/
also, does etc/ contain files? It should.
Maybe the disk was full during installation?
Markus
Thanks for indicating the problem.
We'll modify it to make it independent from NVIZ (as advertized).
This problem slipped through...
So as soon as possible they won't be a requirement any more.
