Hi all, I've got another problem again. Since I had so much trouble with getting g.extension to work and never managed to get the add-on I desperately need to compile (r.area), I'm trying it now with GRASS compiled from source. I tried GRASS 7 and now I've tried GRASS 6.5, both with the same results.
I'm running OpenSUSE 11.3, 32 bit. Since the problem's been the same with 7 and 6.5, I'll show the more recent terminal outputs from 6.5. Installed the latest 6.5-svn code from http://grass.itc.it/grass65/binary/linux/snapshot/. Here's how I did it: - Downloaded grass-6.5.svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-07_08_2010-install.sh and grass-6.5.svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-07_08_2010.tar.gz into the same directory - Ran sudo sh grass-6.5.svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-07_08_2010-install.sh grass-6.5.svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-07_08_2010.tar.gz GRASS installed itself with the following output: GRASS GIS 6.5.svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-07_08_2010 binary package installation tool Using gunzip decompressor...

So far so good, although the inability to execute g.mkfontcap did worry me. Then I started GRASS with the command grass65 and got the following output: l...@pc19392:~/Downloads> grass65 WELCOME TO GRASS Version 6.5.svn 2010 1) Have at your side all available GRASS tutorials 2) When working on your location, the following materials are extremely useful: - A topo map of your area - Current catalog of available computer maps 3) Check the GRASS webpages for feedback mailinglists and more: http://www.grass-gis.org http://grass.osgeo.org Hit RETURN to continue Starting GRASS ...

I've got wxpython installed (for GRASS 7 it complained about now having that - I reinstalled my system completely since I've last written and hadn't installed it, but not it's on there with the development files so it should be okay). Any ideas? I get the same error message with GRASS 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
