[GRASS-user] configure problem

[William L. Baker]

Yes, Glynn, that was the problem. The 6.3.0 source code is fine, and 
./configure works fine now. I must have introduced the CR-LF endings by 
downloading and unpacking the tar on Windows and copying the unpacked 
directories onto a CD, then moving that to Linux. Dumb. It's been a 
while since I worked on Linux/GRASS.
