[GRASS-user] Using r.buffer on image with geographic coordinates

[Ned Horning]

Hi Markus,

Thanks for your help. I am trying to follow your instruction but ran 
into a problem compiling v.buffer. I used svn to download grass 6.5 into 
/usr/local/src and it appears to have compiled just fine and grass65 
seems to be working. To compile v.buffer I tried:
sudo make MODULE_TOPDIR=/usr/local/grass-6.5.svn/

from the /usr/local/src/grass6_devel/vector/v.buffer directory but that 
didn't work. I pasted the error message below.

I expect my MODULE_TOPDIR assignment is not correct. I'll try to figure 
out the problem tomorrow but if you know what the problem is please let 
me know.

Once I compile v.buffer do I have to do anything to deactivate v.buffer2?

Thanks again for the help.

Ned
