Compiling Grass 5.0

[Markus Neteler]

Hi Michel, hi all,

thank you for your remarks. I have updated the source package of GRASS 5.0
today. It is available at Hannover site, and will be uploaded soon to
Baylor and the mirrors.

This error is fixed now.

Also fixed.

XDRIVER and CELL driver are new in the list of modules, which shall
be compiled. It is done by the script "COMPILE.sh" now.


Module specific bugs (due to floating point changes or whatever) please
send to 

   grass at baylor.edu

We collect and fix it for the "GRASS 5.0 stable" version for spring.

Thank you for the overwhelming response (especially downloads).
With your help we and us can develope GRASS for your needs. GRASS
is open source - your chance to improve this GIS!


"Happy downloading..."
