Summary: Database examples in db not compiled

Initial Comment:
Dear Mr. Morrison,

I tried to compile the source code of cvs checkout BrlCAD 7.10.1 from 2007-05-03. The
compile process stops in the subdirectory db. Make tried to convert the BrlCAD asc
formated db files into the BrlCAD g formated db files. To convert the files it uses the
wrapper shell scripts in the subdirectory conv under the src directory. The wrapper
scripts uses the programms under the .libs subdirectory of the directory conv. But there
the is the source of the trouble. The converter program asc2g couldn't find some of its
dynamic libraries and make aborted the compile process.

To get a solution, I looked in the make file "Makefile" of the source root directory.
There I found the following rows:

                   bench_dirs = \
	                   bench \
                           db \
                           pix

I erased the row with the db bench_dir and make has his sucess.

BrlCAD is running on Knoppix vers. 5.01 a Debian based Linux distribution. The kernel ver-
sion is 2.6.17. The C compiler is GNU C version 4.1.

I build BrlCAD from the source and made a debian package. The debian package build is based
on the work from Balbir Thomas. You find a sample on:

http://scientificcomputing.net/debian/packages/brlcad/

I would be glad, if You could help me.

Regards

This should be fixed in the latest CVS sources -- the wrapper scripts that
libtool generates don't specify that there are tcl/tk resources in the
corresponding src/other directories.  So, it cannot find the libraries
prior to installation.  The workaround for that situation is to run make
install from within src/other and then continue building as usual from the
top level -- but then again, as mentioned, this should be fixed in the
latest sources so it's no longer a problem.  The fix put in place was to
append to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the tcl/tk dirs in the Makefile.

Cheers!
Sean
