[GRASS-user] Making fake dem's

[Roger Mason]

Hello Markus and Wolfgang,

Thanks for your responses.

Because I want to make specific landscape shapes.  It would be an
immense labour to search the archive of DEM's to find what I want.

I have GRASS installed on two machines.  r.surf.fractal worked fine on
my machine at home (6.2.1) but does not exist on my work machine (also
6.2.1).  In both cases GRASS was installed from source.  Can you tell
me what libraries r.surf.fractal depends on so I can figure out how to
re-configure and re-build?

Thanks,

Roger
