Compiling Grass 5 beta2 on Debian GNU/Linux system (potato)

[Alan Eugene Davis]

Ran 
   # ./configure 
then 
   # make install
   
This compilation failed at v.in.dlg.  Here are the messages:

I was hopeful, since the compilation ran for something less than an hour
before tripping over this bit.  

I'll try again.
