[GRASSLIST:8781] Question about portability between distributions

[David Van Vliet (personal)]

Hello Folks

I have SUSE10.0 installed and everything works wonderfully.  I originally
tried to install Fedora core 4, but after about 30 hours messing with my
monitor configuration (i.e. modeline hassles), I switched to SUSE and the
installation worked relatively flawlessly.

Although I wasn't sure if it worked, I tried to install the compiled
binaries for Fedora on my machine.  I am new to Linux and am ignorant about
issues regarding portability between distributions.  Grass does run (I get
to see Xwindows forms), but not surprisingly, I am getting lots of errors
'cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' whenever I try
to execute a grass command.

So - I have the following questions

a) should I expect the Fedora binaries to work on Suse?

b) Any hints on how I can uninstall Grass from my system?

c) Does anybody have a version of Grass compiled for SUSE10.0?

d) Can anybody give me relatively straightforward instructions to compile
Grass myself?

thank you all for your help,
