I have posted to grass@cecer.army.mil with no response; this is whence
my list email seems to come.
Should I be posting to grassu-list@moon.cecer.army.mil instead?
In the meantime, I muddled my way through this thicket:

I installed the linux binaries in my Caldera Open Linux 1.3 system
following the web page instructions and get the following error
message:
/usr/local/grass5/etc/gis_set: can't load library 'libcurses.so.1'
after the welcome to grass message.
I get this whether running as user 'grass' in group 'user' or on my
individual account; I installed as user 'grass' following a "HOW-TO
that came with my system. I followed the tip in the README in
linux-libs about installing elfcurses, but no joy.
I would appreciate any pointer on where to look to clear this up.
I fixed this problem for myself after browsing the mail archives by
creating a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1 to
/lib/libcurses.so.1
(I apologize a similiar message just has occured, it didn't seem to
make it to the list from here)
I have recently compiled Grass 4.2.1 for a SparcStation running
linux 2.0.35 /redhat 5.2. Most things seems to work, except for the
digitizing. My plan was to georefer and rectify scanned images,
then use the image as a backdrop for digitizing with the mouse (I
have used that method on Arc/Info with reasonable results) But,
when I start v.digit, I get to the point where I have a screen like
|Point number 0
|
| Buttons:
| Left: Mark a point
| Middle: (Backup one point)
| Right: Quit digitizing
etc. Then absolutely nothing happens. I am not able to draw
anything on the monitor, and I am not able to Quit the digitizing. I
have been looking in the mailinglistarchives and in the files under
the v.digit directory, bu have so far not found anything helpful...
Hoping for some help so that I don't have to chrash my budget to
buy Arc/Info...

Morten,
You don't say what sort of digitiser hardware you have, but chances are
good that it is not interfacing with GRASS on the Sparc. We'd be a step
forward if we knew what sort of digitiser you are taming.
Regards,
MF
