[GRASS5] r3.showdspf problems in GRASS 5.7

[Michael Barton]

I tried again to get r3.showdspf to work without success. I am using the
sample weather dataset and Lorenzo Moretti's binaries under Mac OSX 10.3.5

Problem #1. When I run r3.showdspf via g_gui(), it sends output to the tcltk
output display window--as expected. However, it needs to send output to an
xterm so that you can interact with it. I can script around this in
tcltkgrass menus, but thought I would mention it.

Problem #2. Potentially more serious. When I run r3.showdspf from the
command line 

>>r3showdspf grid3=CloudLCP.992172300 dspf=test

I get the desired prompt. But when I enter any of the normal r3.showdspf
commands (e.g., +, -, d, ?) I get a "Broken pipe" error.

I also get errors when I try to run r3.mkdspf. This generates many errors.
For example....

Any thoughts anyone?
