Hi!,
We are currently running xgrass4.1 under SunOS4.1.3 on a SPARC IPC
station without any problems.Soon, we are going to change the SunOS4.1.3 to Solaris 2.4 on this
machine. Will there be any problems with the current of the grass in
the new system? If yes, how should I change over to appropriate version
of GRASS?Any ideas as how to go about this transition safely would be helpful.
Thanks for the time.

You probably will run into very few problems. I ran SunOS compiled Grass
on a Solaris 2.4 machine and it ran beautifully. Solaris 2.4 supports fifos
so now you won't have to use message queues. However, Xgrass and Xgen
will need to have the C preprocessor to be in /usr/lib and I'm think
Solaris2.4 puts this program in /usr/ccs/lib. If you find this to be the
case, you should be able to simply link the /usr/ccs/lib/cpp to /usr/lib/cpp.
Or, I suppose, someone could modify the Xgen, Xgrass, and Xclip code for
Solaris 2.4.
