I obtained a raster file which is filed with the same number (<> the mean value of elevation). My site file is quite dense so i have to play with drim but with the same results...

This problem is know. We are currently trying to fix it. I
hope to have a solution the next days. Reason for this problem
was some updating in the library to make the code more platform
independent and to improve inconsistent programming.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
The updated version you will find here:
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/grass5/source/experimental/

Check the files:
new_in_beta6.txt  and
HISTORY.txt   

if the "sites" bug is fixed. It shall be GRASS 5 beta6e then.

Thanks for notification,
