[GRASS-user] Missing some tools: v.db.addcol, for example

[Roger André]

Hi Markus,

Thanks for your inquiry about this.  Everything works now, after
having moved all scripts from sub-directory into $GISBASE/scripts.
I'm teaching myself how to use GRASS with your excellent book, so I am
far from being an expert at installation and configuration options.
However in response to Nikos's question, I am not sure how changing
permissions would have solved this problem. Following the defined
$PATH would only bring you to the directory, and not the script
itself.  It would seem to me that part of the make process would be to
copy these scripts into the correct directory, but since they appear
to be the same place... I dunno.

Thanks,

Roger
