Sorry from here, it was an undeleted binary residual.

In fact we have the script version active now and the C code present, but
unused. Should be removed when g.manual script is working everywhere.

Thanks for this hint! I got it working on solaris, but
 - didn't need your awk modification
 - quotes another if statement

Here the diff to "old" CVS version:


 cvs diff g.manual 
Index: g.manual
===================================================================
RCS file: /grassrepository/grass/src/scripts/contrib/g.manual/g.manual,v
retrieving revision 1.20
diff -r1.20 g.manual
171c171
<   if [ -e $html -a "$GRASS_TEXT_BROWSER" ]
---
>   if [ "-e $html" -a "$GRASS_TEXT_BROWSER" ]
178c178
<   elif [ -e $man -a ! "$GRASS_TEXT_BROWSER" ]
---
>   elif [ "-e $man" -a ! "$GRASS_TEXT_BROWSER" ]

After fixing this, g.manual runs well for Linux and Solaris2.6.
I have updated in CVS.

Please report if any other platform is causing problems (after update).

cvs up src/scripts/contrib/g.manual
gmake5 -i src/scripts/contrib
which g.manual  # be sure to use the script version
g.manual d.rast

Thanks,

 Markus
