I have fixed it again, the basic/ was not included yet.

To make it working, I had to comment 

  /*closedir(dir);*/

to avoid segfault (very strange, I'm sure that I dislike strings).

TODOs (I don't manage to fix it):

- d.vect:
   - make closedir(dir); functional (I guess the dir should be better closed)
   - sort the list of icons for the help text/TCL GUI

- r.colors:
   - sort the list of colors for the help text/TCL GUI
