[GRASSLIST:5588] Re: GRASS 5.0.1 compilation issues

[Wayne Gibson]

Great!  I'll replace that code.

I've been wrestling with compiling all day and have discovered a couple other 
issues.

1) For some reason, when compiling the code in directory "r.tiff", the "jpeg" 
lib is not included on the compile line.  I added "-ljpeg" in Gmakefile and it 
appears to compile without errors.

2) When compiling the code in PNGdriver, there is a reference to "sun" and "cos" 
which I'm sure are in libm.a.  Here I also changed the Gmakefile and added "-lm" 
and the code now copiles without errors.

I don't know if these are accidental omissions or platform specific issues.

3) Compiling in src/general/init for "set_data"

ld: warning: symbol `numcodes' has differing sizes:
        (file /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so value=0xa0; file 
/usr/lib/libtermlib.so value=0x88);
        /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so definition taken

This looks like a problem with set_data.  Which curses library should be used?  
I find /usr/lib/libcurses and /usr/local/lib/libncurses.  I still get the error 
message when starting grass:

	Sorry, I need to know a more specific terminal type than "".

TERM is set to "xterm" ("echo $TERM" just prior to set_data in Init.sh)

4) In one of the email archives, there was a discussion about using fifos.  
Should sockets be used in most cases?

Thanks for your help.
