Error at compilation error located in grass_trunk/visualization/ximgview

I can't compile grass7.svn on a fresh Xubuntu 12.04 install. The compilation error is located in grass_trunk/visualization/ximgview:

Is this still an issue?

I believe that the underlying issue is that the AC_CONFIG_XTRA macro no longer works reliably with modern Linux distributions.

The only modules which use X11 directly (i.e. not through wxWidgets or OpenGL) are r3.showdspf and ximgview. Both of these are somewhere between "deprecated" and "obsolete".

r3.showdspf isn't built by default, and won't compile at present as it uses the Motif-based GLw widget, but configure (and Platform.make.in) no longer have any support for Motif or the GLw widget. Unless someone is actively working on porting it to e.g. wxWidgets, it should be removed.

ximgview is probably redundant due to wximgview and/or wximgview.py.

Personally, I'd suggest removing both of these. The X11 configure checks probably need to remain for the sake of libraries which have X11 as a dependency, as well as for the XRender surface support in the cairo driver.

(sorry for the delayed reply)

Yes, still an issue today on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS.
