I attempted to compile grass5.0beta6, dl'd from Baylor, on a Redhat 6.0 system.
The source code is located under /usr/local/src/grass5.0beta/
To answer the obvious question, I am compiling instead of using binaries because
my next project is to install a copy on a G3 Powerbook running LinuxPPC.
This installation is a warm-up for that.
Configure command:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/grass --with-bindir=/usr/bin
Last two of the many lines output by that:
creating src/include/config.h
src/include/config.h is unchanged
---------------
Complete output from "make install":
if [ ! -d /usr/local/grass-5.0b ]; then mkdir /usr/local/grass-5.0b ; fi
if [ ! -d src/CMD/next_step ]; then mkdir src/CMD/next_step ; fi
/root/.bashrc UNIX_BIN=/usr/local/bin SRC=`pwd` GISBASE=/usr/local/grass-5.0b MACHINENAME=`uname -n` /bin/sh src/CMD/generic/CREATE_GMAKE.sh
mkdir -p -m 755 /usr/local/grass-5.0b
/bin/sh `pwd`/src/CMD/generic/is64bit.sh
/root/.bashrc GRASSSRC=`pwd`/src GMAKE=`pwd`/src/CMD/gmake5.0 /bin/sh src/CMD/generic/GISGEN.sh
/root/.bashrc GRASSSRC=`pwd`/src GMAKE=`pwd`/src/CMD/gmake5.0 /bin/sh src/CMD/generic/MAKELINKS.sh
/root/.bashrc GISBASE=/usr/local/grass-5.0b MACHINENAME=`uname -n` /bin/sh src/CMD/generic/POST_INSTALL.sh
-------------------
Because I am a clueless newbie, I don't know what the above means.
I checked the files created by configure, they seem to be in good order. (AFAIK)
I do know that the "make install" is not running GISGEN, MAKELINKS, or POST_INSTALL, but I don't know why.
It is possible that I have not installed some rpm package from the RH CD that is required.
TIA
