[GRASS-user] gis.m, d.m and nviz failing

[Henning Lorenz]

Hi!

There are several posts on the list about gis.m failing at startup.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a discussion of the reasons and possible
solutions. For me this together with failing d.m and nviz occurs after
an upgrade from Ubuntu 6.06 (glibc 2.3.6) to 6.10 (glibc 2.4.0). This
occurs for grass versions 6.2.0 and 6.3cvs (6.0 works) and is not
dependent on the tcl/tk version (I compiled it against 8.3 and 8.4). Two
of the errors mention problems with gdal. Gdal however is in place and
these errors occur both with the gdal-1.3.1 debian package and
gdal-1.3.2 compiled on my computer (and the respective version of
gdal-grass).

Starting gis.m results in:

Starting d.m results in:

Starting nviz results in:

Has anybody similar problems and perhaps a solution?

Cheers,

Henning
