well, yeah, that's the first thing I did. gmt/bin has been in my $PATH
for months, and all the gmt programs I've used until now have worked fine.
but $PATH is not the problem here,
$ GMT gmtinfo ETOPO1_Bed_g.grd
gmtmggpath_init: Environment variable GMTHOME not set!
$ GMT gmtlist ETOPO1_Bed_g.grd
binlegs: Environment variable GMTHOME not set!
setting GMTHOME=/usr/share/gmt manually creates other errors:
$ export GMTHOME=/usr/share/gmt
$ GMT gmtlist ETOPO1_Bed_g.grd
GMT Fatal Error: /usr/share/gmt/share/pslib/PS_font_info.d: No such file or directory
$ locate PS_font_info.d
/usr/share/gmt/pslib/PS_font_info.d
the hardcoded paths in those programs have not been changed to reflect
the debianization.
again this is in the etch package, I don't know if further patches have
been applied in lenny, but would like to ensure that while we still have
a chance to fix it.
