For what it's worth, when I was running the older binaries for Linux, I 
tried s.surf.tps on a sites file that was correctly formatted, using 
perfectly correct settings. It tossed out all my points. I was a little 
miffed.
I immediately walked over to the SUN box, which, through some 
jiggery-pokery with nfs and userid numbers, used exactly the same files 
as the Linux box.
It worked first time, with no thought required on my part. I then ran the 
program on the SUN for the rest of the time I needed it.

As a thought- could it be that PC's running Linux are using the 
other-endian data structures for multi-byte integers compared to most 
UNIX boxes? I have run into this problem with i.in.erdas too. It screwed 
me up for quite a while setting up an ERDAS export filter that I tested 
against i.in.erdas.
