Markus,

I could make a new softlink.

That's what I tried to do, but liblas failed to build.

I recompiled libgeotiff but libgeospatialite failed to build; I've asked on
that mail list for help.

Slackware doesn't automatically build dependencies nor build packages in a
defined sequence. Such tasks are left to the user and after many years I'm
well used to it.

Question: Yesterday I read that liblas has been deprecated in favor of pdal
and I have a vague recollection of reading (a mail message? a web page?)
that GRASS was accommodating this change. So I stopped trying to build
liblas, built and installed pdal, but could not get grass to incorporate it.
Will this transition be made reasonably soon?
