When I run r.cost, I frequently receive an error saying that there is not enough memory. After searching the mail archives I tried increasing my resolution four-fold, partitioning my grids with large overlapping boundaries, and adding the arguement percent_memory=100 with mixed success. Consequently, it's easier for me to export my data and calculate distance to nearest feature in ArcInfo workstation.
I realize that there are a limited number of developers, but I'm sending this message as a request for what might be a simpler algorythm than r.cost to produce:
- distance to nearest feature
- attribute of nearest feature
- direction to nearest feature
Otherwise, I think GRASS is a GREAT program,
Jesse

Hi,
1) submit this as wish list item at
http://grass.itc.it/bugtracking/bugreport.html (I know, that interface
sucks and bugzilla is better, but currently we have no bugzilla);
2) nearest feature in raster or vector map?
If it is raster map, may bee You can write such module Yourself. I was
surprised, that knowledge from "teachyourself C in 24h" is enough to
code new simple raster module for GRASS. And more - first You can
implement it in mapcalc - it not as hard as it sounds 
Let the source be with you!

Hi,
what about r.distance and maybe m.cogo?
