PROBLEMS Initializing grass!!!!

[Bill Brown]

It looks like you copied the s.surf.tps binary to $GISBASE/bin, but this
directory should only contain links to the program front.end, so you overwrote
front.end and now all grass programs are links to s.surf.tps.

What you need to to is:
1) recompile front.end (in src/front.end)

2) copy your s.surf.tps binary to $GISBASE/etc/bin/alpha/cmd

3) cd to src/CMD and run MAKELINKS (for your architecture if using multiple
   platforms)

The moral to the story is: NEVER copy a binary directly to $GISBASE/bin :-)
