Grads on Slackware 11 - segmentation faults

[Jean Pierre Arabonis]

Thanks Patrice for the suggestions, I tried your tarball without
success, same errors came up as before.

I have brought across the following:

grads-1.9b3-src.tar.gz
grads-1.9b3-supplibs-linuxRH9.tar.gz

put them in a directory and tried:

 >./configure --with-dods
--libdir=/data/source/Grads19b3work/grads-1.9b3/supplibs/lib

and I have success with everything in order, then all falls over when I
try make:

 >make

arabonis at baltic:/data/source/Grads19b3work/grads-1.9b3> make
Making all in src
make[1]: Entering directory `/data/source/Grads19b3work/grads-1.9b3/src'

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/source/Grads19b3work/grads-1.9b3/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

This is now well over my head, anyone out there can tell me what is
going on and if/how to solve it.

On the side track I tried the fedora core 1.8 compilation again through
gdb, maybe someone can tell me what is going on as it seems to be the
common problem with all the versions of grads:

arabonis at baltic:/data/source/Gradsfedoracore> gdb --quiet gradsdods
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
(gdb) run
