Dear list,<br>
<br>
After some disappointing experience concerning the installation of
existing add-ons (for 65 and 70) under Grass6.4, I decided to give
Grass7.0 a try. <br>
<br>
After the installation process I tried to use g.extension. It will did
not work for me and with the help of a college I found the reason. For
module g.extension "def check()" in the python skript has to be
changed in line "if not grass.find_program". Otherwise the reply when
calling g.extension will always be grass.fatal ('2svn client
requiered...'). My college updated the wikipage on this issue already
but eventually you might want to countercheck as well.<br>
<br>
Installation is on Ubuntu10.04 (lucid lynx)<br>
<br>
<i>def check():<br>
# check if we have the svn client<br>
if not grass.find_program<u>('svn', ['help']):</u><br>
grass.fatal(_('svn client required. Please install subversion
first.'))<br>
# probably test here if we have "make" and "install" programs as
well. how about gcc?</i><br>
