RE: [GRASS-user] RE: NVIZ problem
Hi Markus, I eventually removed the HD4870 and exchanged it for my old nvidia 8800GTS. GRASS now works in intrepid64 (although it is 6.2!). I could not get 6.4 to compile but I probably gave up too easily (it was late last night) and I will try again shortly. Please let us know what failed. Maybe we can quickly help. ./configure cannot find the tcl/tk headers (although I have installed both). This is probably a simple thing to resolve but I was tired when I tried this. I think it is probably just a location issue for the 64bit Intrepid. Why does working in 64bit seem to cause so many driver issues! Both of my machines have 4Gb ram and I simply want/need to use it. I always knew Vista was a pain but this has also shaken my trust in linux. Perhaps an Ubuntu issue here? I am using 64bit Linux without troubles for years meanwhile. Yes, I agree, although a quick search in google shows the myriad of problems with the ati drivers. I have had no problems with the 32bit Ubuntu (albeit without the ati card) but few scripts work out of the box with the 64bit version. I need Jachym to do the hard work for me in Intrepid! (I guess a 6 month release cycle asks a lot of everyone). Best wishes Darrel Markus ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
[GRASS-user] RE: NVIZ problem
Many thanks for the suggestions. I tried for more hours than I care to admit to solve this without success. I eventually removed the HD4870 and exchanged it for my old nvidia 8800GTS. GRASS now works in intrepid64 (although it is 6.2!). I could not get 6.4 to compile but I probably gave up too easily (it was late last night) and I will try again shortly. Interesting GRASS also works on my Vista64 bit machine with the HD4870 catalyst drivers installed (although installation of the catalyst drivers was not a simple matter!). Why does working in 64bit seem to cause so many driver issues! Both of my machines have 4Gb ram and I simply want/need to use it. I always knew Vista was a pain but this has also shaken my trust in linux. Anyhow I now have both systems working so I am happy - for now :). Thanks again for all the help.
