[GRASSLIST:3123] Re: Problem with monitor....

[Massimiliano Cannata]

Ok thanks for the help, now i've compiled all the grass code on my 
external drive and got no error.
Now i can run grass with:
#> /mnt/maxtor_linux/grass_home/grass53/bin/grass53
but still remain some problem.....

- Monitor problem:
I can run a monitor only if i am ROOT, otherwise i get the same old 
error: ERROR: In main.c: Couldn't get socket path.

whoami gives the rigth answer;
/tmp/grass-<username> is a directory, exist and i'm the owner;

what am i missing? maybe mounting my external drive (where i put my bin)?
i use in fstab:  /dev/sda5     /mnt/maxtor_linux    ext2    defaults    1 2

- Library problem:
I cannot see libproj.so.0 because my LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't contain the 
path /usr/local/lib.
if i run:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
everything goes fine.....

but it should be already contemplate in some grass variable, in fact i run:

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -Wall" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure  
--prefix=/mnt/maxtor_linux/grass_home/grass53 
--with-bindir=/mnt/maxtor_linux/grass_home/  
--with-postgres-includes=/usr/include/pgsql/server/ --with-motif 
--with-motif-includes=/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/include/ 
--with-motif-libs=/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/lib/ --with-blas 
--with-lapack --with-glw --with-dbm 
--with-dbm-includes=/usr/include/gdbm --with-freetype 
--with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2/ --without-readline 
--with-fftw --with-proj --with-proj-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-cxx

Any helps to give me?
Thanks, and sorry for my limited linux knowledge
