Is anybody out there using the geographic info 
software called GRASS on an apollo?

I helped some GIS students here compile it, but it's
not up to speed yet. Some of the screen input routines
don't work right or even crash the program. ( A curses
related problem?)

And the watershed program crashes with a variety of
segmentation fault and bad stack frame sorts of 
errors.

Apparently, someone at a California apollo office
ported it and wrote a few compilation notes, but
I don't know how thoroughly it was tested there, or 
whether it's been tried lately.

For the record, the machine is a DN4500 with 10.2+psk5.

Thanks for any clues anybody can offer.
