Hi,

I've finaly got the 20092003 snapshot compiled. Now launching it I get a
weired problem:

LOCATION: This is the name of an available geographic location.
-spearfish-
          is the sample data base for which all tutorials are written.
                                                                                
MAPSET:   Every GRASS session runs under the name of a MAPSET.
Associated
          with each MAPSET is a rectangular COORDINATE REGION and a list
          of any new maps created.
                                                                                
DATABASE: This is the unix directory containing the geographic databases
                                                                                
         The REGION defaults to the entire area of the chosen LOCATION.
         You may change it later with the command: g.region

As you can see, the database il a very long path. Yet I can only get to
the n of bin with the keyboard and all that follows is not touchable.
The result is that I get:

LOCATION:   tesi_laurea___             (enter list for a list of
locations)
MAPSET:     molise________             (or mapsets within a location)
                                                                                
DATABASE:   /home/antonio/grass5.1                            .i
            GRASS 5.7.0-cvs

and when I give <ESC><ENTER> I get:

ERROR: LOCATION <<
       /home/antonio/local/src/grass57_exp_2003_09_20/bin.i686-pc-linux-gnu/<UNKNOWN>
>> not available
DATABASE </home/antonio/grass5.1                            .i
GRASS 5.7.0-cvs> - not found
                                                                                
Hit RETURN -->


If I try modifying the GISBASE variable in the grass57 script I get:

[lun set 22, 10:42 ][antonio at gaia:~]grass57
/home/antonio/local/bin/grass57: line 29:
/home/antonio/grass5.1/etc/Init.sh: No such file or directory
/home/antonio/local/bin/grass57: line 29: exec:
/home/antonio/grass5.1/etc/Init.sh: cannot execute: No such file or
directory

How do I tell grass where my database is?

Thanks
