Hi,

fixed in r49451,2. fwiw i.points.auto is an awkward test for it as it doesn't use the standard parser. (one of a number of i.points improvements to be back-ported; i.points.auto is based on a 2004 copy of i.points)

with an empty (or non-existent) addons dir could you try editing line 412 of grass 6.5's g.extension to be [ 0 -eq 1 ] and installing a few addon modules? After seeing it I hope you agree it is a much cleaner way to organize things. If there is a technical reason not to clean that up I'd still like to hear what it is, as I know of none.

thanks, Hamish
