Hi Martin

Thanks for the pointer, but unfortunately I'm still having trouble. I 
first tried to add vdigit to an existing installation of RC3 without 
success. I then downloaded, configured and built trunk and the build 
completed without reporting any errors. I noticed that vdigit was not 
built along with the other modules, although a 
/grass-trunk/gui/wxpython/vdigit/Makefile was generated. This concerns 
me. Can anyone explain what's happening here?

Anyway, I then proceeded to try building vdigit after performing steps 
1.1, 1.2 and 7.1 described in the wxpython README. The build failed with 
errors as below:

I have puzzled over these error messages and it appears to me that the 
path to gis.h and friends has been set incorrectly. If this is the 
problem, do I fix this by editing the Makefile?
