Greetings future XGRASSers,
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfHelp
Warning: ... found while parsing ' <Key>osfHelp:
ManagerGadgetHelp() '
etc
I received several suggestions to copy /usr/openwin/lib/XKeysymDB to
/usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB.There was not an "X11" directory in /usr/lib so I created one and
copied
the XKeysymDB file to it, but I am still getting the same errors.
One suggestion was that I set my path to find the Motif libraries
first,
but I don't have Motif. I was told that Motif is only needed to
compile
XGRASS, not to run it. That's the reason I pulled down the binary
version
instead of the source code. Is this correct?
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My understanding is that the openwindows XKeysymDB will not work, you
want the OSFmotif key mappings. I used the XKeysymDB that's in the
xgrass source directories ($GIS/src/xgrass). If you've only downloaded
the binaries, I've put a copy of the XKeysymDB in grass/incoming at
max.cecer.army.mil. I believe this file MUST be placed in
/usr/lib/X11 because the static binaries have Motif embedded within
them and they are looking explicitly for /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB.
(You can check this by issuing the command:
strings xg* | grep XKeysymDB
in the directory where the xgrass binary executables reside.)
Changing your path won't help you in this case.
I hope this helps...
