I have been attempting to install Linux Grass 4.1.5 on an IBM system.
I am using Slackware 96 (version 3.0) and I have not had any luck from
the downloaded files or the files from the CDROM from the book Linux
Configuration and Installation (Volkerding, etc al). The error I am
getting is associated with unexpected end of files, invalid compressed
data, and a failure to read and create files.
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

I have installed these binaries successfully. Are you using the binaries
that start with linux.. and Kang's install script (install.sh)?

Hello,

I'm trying to run s.surf.tps under Linux. I'm using Andreas Holz's
compilation.

When I run s.surf.tps and fill in with requested information (in this
case a site file with 150 thousand records extracted from a digitized
topographic map and the default parameters) I get the message:

>Floating point exception (core dumped)

Using s.surf.idw it seems to work but as fast as a snail (I aborted
operation when it had calculated about 50 ou of 6,000 lines! And my
Linux box is a Pentium 133 with 64 Megs...

I read some messages concerning the same issue apparently under Solaris
but I don't know what can apply to my problem.

Thanks,

Hello,

Is there anybody using A. Holz's Xgrass compilation that could help me?

By running Xgrass with 'xgrass4.1 &' my console is flooded with
messages like:

Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfActivate
Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfActivate:ManagerParentActivate()'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfCancel
Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfCancel:ManagerParentCancel()'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfSelect
Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfSelect:ManagerGadgetSelect()'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfHelp
Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfHelp:ManagerGadgetHelp()'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfBeginLine
Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfBeginLine:ManagerGadgetTraverseHome()'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfUp
Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfUp:ManagerGadgetTraverseUp()'

(this is only a sample as long as the messages I captured in a log file
has some 20 kbytes somewhat identical)

When I click to 'Add Items' I can't fill any box as long as the
keyboard doesn't work! But it does in the Grass shell.

Is there any suggestion?
