[GRASSLIST:8728] Re: r.reclass not working in GUI

Hi Glynn,

I have the same problem as Carlos, in that some programs when run from the
GUI don't spawn an xterm....such as g.mremove, where it asks for
confirmation after collecting file names to be removed. I was going to apply
the fix you mentioned in your response, however ls -al doesn't show anything
resembling ld.so.conf in /etc/.

I'm using Cygwin on XP....so would ld.so.conf be located somewhere else?

shouldn't it open some kind of dialog?

It should spawn an xterm where you can enter the rules.

However, this won't work if your xterm binary is setuid or setgid and GRASS
was built to use shared libraries. For security reasons, the loader discards
the shared library search path stored in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running
setuid/setgid executables.

You can get around this problem by adding the GRASS library directory (e.g.
/usr/local/grass6/lib) to /etc/ld.so.conf then running "ldconfig" as root.

The setuid xterm issue doesn't apply to Cygwin.

g.mremove is never run in a terminal; if you are using it from the
GUI, you will have to enable the "force removal" option, as there's no
way to respond to the prompt.

Hello Everybody.

I hope that somebody can help me.

I purchased a computer (AMD X64) from emachines with an integrated ATI
graphics card (ATI Radeon X200 IGP). Unfortunately there is no linux driver
provided for this card, and any of the existing/available drivers do not
work. I have fedora 4 installed and it works with the generic VESA driver.

What kind of advice can you give? I bought the machine to install GRASS.
Should I just go get myself a good graphics card and be done with it? If
so, what do you y'all recommend?

thanks,
dave

no driver here? linux/64bit seems to be listed.
