Re-write g.tempfile so that it doesn't rely upon GRASS having been initialised, i.e. just use tempnam() or similar rather than relying upon G_getenv() etc. The only code which really needs to use G_tempfile() is code which creates files within the GRASS database (e.g. G_open_cell_new() etc), as the files have to reside on the same filesystem as the rest of the database. Everything else can use $TMPDIR. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
