New GRASS 4.2.1 package

Hi, 30.1.98

just now I have uploaded to

http://www.laum.uni-hannover.de/iln/grass/grass42/

     - a new GRASS binary package (Version 4, new ps.map etc.)
     - new source code package (version 6)
     - separated documentation package

Have fun

Hello Grass Users!

  I'm trying to compile Mapgen 6.25 using the source code from Markus
Neteler's site (many, many thanks, Markus!).

  Main Grass binaries I've installed (from Markus... Thanks again.) are
working fine and smooth. I let them all at /usr/local/grass42 for the
sake of simplicity (no further edits, no further checkings).

  I downloaded the source code and gunziped & untared it under this all
common and plain vanilla tree.

  All the links to libraries are OK, I copied gmake4.2 to /usr/local/bin,
symlinked gzcat to zcat. I wish everything is quite the same I've
encountered on the documents from Markus.

  Then I changed to /usr/local/grass42/src421/src.related/mapgen_625 and
try a 'gmake4.2'.

  I got that scrolled down message:

  CMD = /usr/local/grass42/src421/src/CMD

  I read a litle the scripts itself and noted the commands pointed to
.../mapgen4.0. Then I changed again to /usr/local/grass42/.../mapgen4.0
and fired another 'gmake4.2'. Now I got a longer message but no
succesful compiling yet"

  A couple of questions:

  What is that 'libgraph.a' I've not found in my disk? (I'm using Debian
1.3 R3 and gcc 2.7.2.1)

  Does anyone find what's going wrong? (being more precise: what am I
doing wrong?)

  Many thanks,

this error. Please help me.. I use solaris2.5.1 on sparcstation.

Hello Grass-Users !

Congratulations to the new GRASSBinaries with TCLTKGRASS. That looks
really great. We have recently updated to v16 and TCLTKGRASS20.

After installing and linking the TCLTK-Files, the tcltkgrass started
fine, we could start a graphics monitor, but when we tried to display a
raster or vector map, we got the following error-message:

error in tcl script:
ERROR: bad relief type "solid":
must be flat, groove, raised, ridge or sunken

Anyone had similar problems ?
Anyone has an idea what is going wrong?

We use grass4.2.1v16 under linux slackware, fvwm2.

Thanks, Michael

Exactly same problems.
RedHat 4.x (very modified and upgraded)
Kernel 2.0.33
Tcl & Tk installed as instructions tell.
Grass working perfectly normal ways.

Thanks also,
Kari
