[GRASS5] can't display vector maps

[Markus Neteler]

Hi Otto,

Radim submitted a bunch of bugfixes yesterday early evening:

http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass-commit/2004-November/date.html#end

Please update again. I just tested and things seem to work ok now.

GENERAL NOTES to update to current 5.7-CVS:
Probably there was a small bug in 'make mixclean' leaving
the links to 5.3 in the include/ directory. Please check
if grass57/include/ still contains links to GRASS 5.3-CVS
which is wrong. If links are still in existing in that
directory, run

  find include -type l -exec rm {} \;

GRASS 5.7-CVS may no longer have links to 5.3-CVS.

Then:
  make distclean
  cvs up -dP
  configure ...
  make
  make install

Hope this helps

 Markus
