Hi frields,
I compiled tcltkgrass. The compilation process is fine. However,
if I invoke "supper view" window and try to display some map(s) on its
own graphic display, I get nothing responsed back in the graphic window.
In the grass conference Mr.Gilles Clement said that they rewrite the
XDRIVER. I couldn't find the code for XDRIVER in the tcltkgrass.tar.Z
package. Here is my questions:
1. Do I missing something from ftp?
2. Where is the new XDRIVER for this "supper view" graphic window?
since it really improves the display a lot I would like to see
it.
3. Does "supper view" graphic window need this new XDRIVER in order
to perform its tasks?
4. Anyone knows how to display a map in supper view could give me
an example about how to do it. Do I have to setup the database
in some special way to make the display possible?
Thanks for any information and help in advance

just a few notes here on Solaris...
has this been tested under solaris2.3/gcc 2.5.5? I don't think so...
I get a core dump. I have managed to get something working with:
cc: C Development Set (CDS) SPARCompilers 2.0.1 03 Sep 1992
however, I have not been able to make it display anything (all of I
have are sites - maybe it's a user problem?).
1. there's all kinds of prototype incompatibilities
e.g., draw() should NOT be int if used as the first
argument to Tk_DoWhenIdle(). It should be declared
Tk_IdleProc (defined in tk.h as void.) I haven't checked
out all of the other compiler warnings.
2. Also, tcltkgrass depends on tkConfig.h and tkInt.h which are not
normally installed when tk is installed.
3. For Solaris, add the command line flag -DHAVE_UNISTD_H
4. use 'tput init' in the tcktkgrass script instead of the old
'eval `tset -Qs`', which doesn't exist in Solaris
5. I get the superview thing up, but I can never get any sites
to display
"Error: error reading bitmap file "../bitmap/arrow"
when trying to display a site file. Apparently, this thing
is not relocatable (i.e., I have to be at the right level
in the right directory tree for this thing to work). This
problem should be found by non-Solaris users.
Bottom line - I didn't get it to work 
Maybe next release
I'll try again.
