r.in.ascii dying with segmentation fault <sigh>

GRASS GRASS user

Hi All,

To the point: My first attempt at using floating point r.in.ascii allowed
the parameter input but then died immediately on trying to import the file.
It used to work fine (and I used a file that I've imported before).

History that may be relevant:
After a blind struggle I managed to get most of the floating point update
compiled on our SGI Indy (R4400) running Irix 5.3. One modification that
was instrumental was to add DATETIMELIB = /usr/lib/libc.so.1 to the
src/CMD/generic/make.mid file. Otherwise, I used the SGI header file that
was posted to the list some time ago, which I've included below.

If others have a log describing their successful implementation on this
machine I'd sure like to hear it. If I ever get this working I'll happily
post mine.

Cheers, Peter Briggs

In info.grass.user you write:

Bill Brown and Helena are running fp GRASS on SGI.
I am sorry for the problems you are having, it is very hard
to include all the new things in one .tar file.

I want to debug this segmentation fault you got using r.in.ascii.
Can you please send me the input file?
Thanx!

in make.mid, you should have:
DATETIMELIB = $(LIBDIR)/libdatetime.a
