v.digit in Grass5.0b

I switched to GRASS5.0beta, and everything seems to be fine with it (Linux
Box: S.u.S.E. 6.0 / 2.0.34), but now I wanted to use v.digit and it seems as
if the module is not integrated into the 5.0b version (I tried v.digit2 as
well).
Does anyone know how I could solve this? Can I download just the binaries
for the v.digit of version 4.21?

Hi Bernhard,

the v.digit is now v.digspline (which is included).

The old v.digit code is also coming along with GRASS 5.0,
but v.digspline has the new functionality of vector line
spline interpolation. You find this feature in the
menues of v.digspline.

Best wishes

Hello Gassers !

We are trying the new GRASS5 on one seperate machine, with Debian 2.0
installed. When trying to use the new v.digspline, we get a segmentation
fault after trying to draw a backdrop cell map.

I now not sure whether this is a debian-specific problem (but we use the
original xterm) or a real bug. Wasn't there a similar problem with xgrass
?

Anybody experienced the same, or hints to solve the problems?
Thanks, Michael

I had a look at that problem and found an error in

grass5.0beta/src/libes/display/raster2.c

which may be corrected in the following way:

diff raster2.c.orig raster2.c
378c378
< D_raster (raster, ncols, nrows, colors);
---

    D_c_raster (raster, ncols, nrows, colors);
