E. Sample Files

This appendix is the home of Linux-specific examples of selected GRASS configuration files. Currently, only several examples of a single file are offered. However, this is the most important file for configuration! Later, examples of database configuration files (e.g. DEFAULT_WIND) and other files may appear.

In the Installation Guide (pp. 10-11) you will see mention of the [header] file in directory $GIS/src/CMD/header (where $GIS is the directory in which you place GRASS - some folks put this in /usr/local - I put everything in a GRASS' own filesystem/directory /user/grass4.1). The installation guide favors Sun systems, as these were the development environment for GRASS4. (In case you cared, Masscomp workstations were earlier development environments.) Below are examples of this <header> file for linux (which you might want to name linux in your $GIS/src/CMD/header directory. You may want to refer to this section when running the setup ($GIS/src/CMD/utils/setup) command.

Intimidating? It probably shouldn't be if you've configured X Windows on your Linux box. These examples should give you patterns to look for when running the setup utility in GRASS (described in the Installation Guide).
