Hmmm. I'm confused. You claim you are using Grass binaries for Solaris but you
also refer to a bin.$ARCH directory. This directory should not be part of the
binaries. Could you please clarify this point for us?
However, this bug is still strange. What was the output from the
grass5install.sh script? Were any error messages printed?
As a workaround and assuming the rest of the grass5install.sh script worked,
and that you do have the solaris binaries, then the source grass5 file is
inside the tar file. This can be extracted manually by the following command
(make sure the file has been gunzipped):
tar -xvf grass?????????.tar grass5
Where the ???? marks are the appropriate version and machine name for the tar
file. Once that is extracted you can edit the file and change the GISBASE=
line to be
GISBASE=/usr/local/grass5
If that is where the binary files were installed.
Please let me know if you have problems with this work around.

Hi!
The bin.$ARCH was just a guess taken from the earlier 4.3 release docs.
Let me pause for a second to clarify...
The binary release comes with a grass5install.sh script for unpacking
the gzipped distribution (.tar.gz). When this script is executed it moves
the binary files into the default /usr/local/grass5 directory which it creates
in the install process. It, like the 4.3 release, also places a startup script,
now called grass5, in the /use/local/bin directory. Unfortunately the file
produced by the 5.0 release is empty. It's ultimate effect, judging from
the Linux version, which works just fine, was to execute
/usr/local/grass5/etc/Init.sh which actually launches grass, according to
the internal documentation.
Apparently something is wrong in that a zero size startup script is
being generated - that's all. Could be that Sun has changed something
in the 2.8 Solaris environment that's causing this problem.
I will re-install and capture the install script output tomorrow and
forward it over to you. I would be glad to do anything to help
track this down.
Configuration:
SPARC Ultra 10
Solaris 2.8

Hi Jon
Any update on this issue? Just curious since I haven't heard from you since
last week.

Hi Justin,
Sorry, things got a little busy over here. No luck with the latest
suggestions. In the meantime I built Grass 5.0 on a neighboring
Red Hat Linux 6.2 box which produced the appropriate script
file (grass5) in /usr/local/bin. I'm going to try jump starting the
binary Solaris Grass 5.0 release using this file.
This Solaris 2.8 system has caused a number of formidable
problems. The grass5 source won't build on it even though
we have (see [bug #113]) everything in place that's specified
for the build. Huge number of compile errors result. There is
something very different about this 2.8 environment that's
going to take some sorting out.

OK, I know what it's like to be busy. However, if you get a chance to come
back to this issue then please reply to this mail from the Grass webRT site.
I
still would like to know what is causing this problem. We have run into
several problems between platforms using non-standard UNIX calls, and this may
be another one.
Talk to you later and good luck with your Solaris 2.8 problems.

Hi Jon,
just got a solution for the bug "__builtin_va_alist" not found:
cd src/libes/gis/
edit error.c
add:
#ifdef sun
#include <varargs.h>
#endif
Then GRASS should compile on Solaris2.8 properly.
Regards
Markus Neteler
