More queries of the network variety, I am afraid.GRASS and its data lives on a HP-9000, and we are using Sparcs as display
systems. For a variety of reasons, we would like to place xgrass on a Sparc
for examination purposes, and then call the application through a remote shell.
I have pulled the Sparc binaries, but the installation script which builds
config.sh, and which validates the paths for GRASS and its data, cannot check
directories on a remote machine. Questions :1. To achieve the above, do we need to alter the source of xgrass, or can we
get away with altering the installation script?
You should be able to alter the installation script. I would comment out
the places where the script does checking on paths and run it to reflect
your needs. For example, when it asks you for data, it looks for the
PERMANENT mapset. You should comment out this check.
2. Presuming the latter, will any other changes be required to config.sh
other than path names? At the moment, we cannot even generate a config.sh in
order to look at it.
Not that I can think of at the moment.
