XGRASS problems

[ChrisL4179 at aol.com]

We have successfully compiled GRASS4.1 and XGRASS on a SPARC5 machine running
Solaris 2.4 and using Sun CC.  It runs, but with problems.  They are as
follows



1. When the XGRASS Startup Dialogue displays, the first 2 letters of 
   valid location names are truncated.  It is impossible to select one.
   Values displayed are:

agery
obal
earfish


Also under the Add Items... choice, the text boxes are unedittable.




2. When forcing dbase, location, and mapset via command line parameters,  the
Xgrass main menu does come up.  A display tool can be started, but when an
attempt to manage it is made via the display/manage/control display monitor
menu, the following error is encountered: 


a dialogue box stating:

   ! An error occurred with Xclip.  Check the XClip interface file.


and the following message is displayed:


       "d.mon", No such file or directory
error: cpp: /project/soiwss/grass/etc:/usr/ccs/xclip/d.mon No such file or
directory
 
"/project/soiwss/grass/etc:/usr/ccs/xclip/d.mon", line 1:
<syntax error> at or near ""


the same occurs when attempting to display via the display/display/raster
menu option

xclip: FATAL ERROR <parsing command line arguments>
        "d.rast", No such file or directory
error: cpp: /project/soiwss/grass/etc:/usr/ccs/xclip/d.rast No such file or
directory
 
"/project/soiwss/grass/etc:/usr/ccs/xclip/d.rast", line 1:
<syntax error> at or near ""
 

3. A display tool can be brought up, but no files are listed to open.
   A map can be brought up by selecting a geoframe, and then selecting a
raster map via the maps/raster menu choice.  The filenames in the selection
list however have the first 2 letters truncated.  Through copying and links,
this can be overcome by appending 2 dummy chars to the beginning of the map
filenames.
(e.g. xxnations)



Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.  Our Army project needs a demo
capability of XGRASS by Oct 27.  Thanks in advance.
