[GRASS-user] v.digit under wxGUI

[Vincent Bain]

OK,

so in order to fully enjoy the wxpython GUI on an 64 bit architecture
(especially the wxdigit module) one should first read carefully the
README file located in the your_grass_source_location/gui/wxpython
directory.

The section named "7 - VECTOR DIGITIZER" tells you to create a symbolic
link to a wx library : 

        sudo ln -s `locate _gdi_.so` /usr/local/lib/libgdi.so

The command locate _gdi_.so may points towards the 32 bit library and
ignore (?) the 64 bit libs path (/usr/lib64/...), so it fails. In my
configuration I had to type :

        sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages\
        /wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_gdi_.so /usr/local/lib/libgdi.so

And it worked !
