Hi
Thanks Markus for pointing me out the email from Hamish about
"[GRASS-dev] g.extension not working on debian - grass 6.4.3svn". It did
help me to make some progress.
If I understand correctly, I should find the g.html2man script in
usr/local/grass6.4.current/tools. It is not however, it is still in
usr/local/grass6.4.current/tools/g.html2man subdirectory. This is after
a completely clean install (i.e., I removed grass6 completely from my
system, svn checkout was done from a totally clean (new) dir).
Installing extensions is no problem, but the manual page is not properly
created as described in my earlier email: the manual page is shown in
the addons GUI, but without the parameter sections (i.e., only the part
which is in the description.html).
Perhaps also relevant, if I run the "Uninstall GRASS Addon extension",
it shows no extensions installed. Removing using g.extension is also not
possible.
Now, if (1) remove all extensions manually, (2) manually move the
g.html2man from tools/g.html2man to tools, (3) reinstall the extensions
(see install message below), then: the problem persists, the manual page
is still incomplete. However, now when running the "Uninstall GRASS
Addon extension" shows the installed extensions.
--------------------------------

Hi Markus,
I am running Ubuntu 12.10. I am not sure what that means, g.extension
being used outside of a GRASS session?
I could perhaps also be related to how I installed grass? Below my set
of .configure - make - make install and some further details (not sure
they are useful info, but adding just in case).
./configure --enable-64bit --prefix=/usr/local/grass6.4.current
--with-sqlite --with-postgres
--with-postgres-libs=/usr/include/postgresql/libpq
--with-postgres-includes=/usr/include/postgresql --with-odbc

--with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2
--enable-largefile --with-motif --with-motif-includes=/usr/include
--with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj
make
sudo make install
I also created a shortcut in the /usr/bin: sudo ln -s
/usr/local/grass6.4.current/bin/grass64 /usr/bin/grass6.4 + Added a
configuration file in /etc/ld.so with the following line:
/usr/local/grass6.4.current/grass-6.4.3svn/lib.
Your help is much appreciated. I am happy it all runs, so this isn't a
major issue, but it would obviously be good if I could solve this.

Yes, caused by the error below:

To me it looks like g.extension being used outside of a GRASS session.

On Fedora 17 no problem, it installs properly.

Apparently yes: which OS is it?
