To simplifiy all make routines, I had to put the location of gmake4.1 in my path, thus set path=(/gcps3/grass4.1 $path) ""/gcps3/grass4.1"" is where gmake4.1 lives. This had to be done to compile some of the src.contrib programs. Now I have a display/path script I run and it sets my environments and all is good-to-go! craig caa at noaacrd.colorado.edu
