RE: LTPlus questions

since LTPlus is distributed as port of GRASS 4.1 I decided to give it a try
and after one or two minor bug-fixes it compiled just fine (this is
SCO UNIX 3.2.2, gcc-2.3.3). However, as soon as I start it, I get the
message: error in initialize: get_config failed to execute.

in the directory src.related/LTPlus/source there is a Makefile where you
define the base directory for LTplus

Makefile> LTP_BASE_DIR = /cd2/grass4.1/hp730.x/ltp
Makefile>
Makefile># directory where ltplus and ltpgo executables will go
Makefile>
Makefile> LTP_BIN_DIR = ${LTP_BASE_DIR}/bin

you need to copy the following directories that are found under
                   src.related/LTPlus
                         to
                    LTP_BASE_DIR

./ bin/ digitizers/ import/ maps/
../ config/ digmenus/ incl/ menus/
               cursor_keys/ export/ pens/
               dictionaries/ help/ macros/
               dictionary/ ibm/ map_lists/

what i did is to link back to the orginal src.related/LTPplus directories
so that i did not have extra copies of files.

/cd2/grass4.1/hp730.x/ltp> ln -s /cd2/grass4.1/src.related/LTPlus/config config

|I have put the most recent users manual for LTPlus on the moon site for those
|who requested it. It is located at /grass/incoming/ltplus/manual. I do not
|know what format it is in, but it appears to print out just fine on our Sparc
|laser printers. Any questions please contact me.

|| Now in /grass/incoming/OGI/documents/ltplus.manual .
