Hello everyone,
when starting grass freshly compiled from CVS I get the following warning :

Warning: location <<UNKNOWN>> at GISDBASE </Users/maxime959/Documents/ grass/grass63/bin.i686-apple-darwin8.9.1> is not a directory or does not exist

Your GISDBASE value looks wrong. GISDBASE is short for "GIS Database", i.e. the directory where all your GRASS data is stored in a hierarchy of locations. So GISDBASE should be set (in either the text-oriented or Tcl/Tk GUI) to the directory where you have untarred the spearfish location (which in general should be somewhere separate in your filesystem from the GRASS source code, so you don't delete it by accident and can use it with different versions of GRASS etc.). It may also help to delete the .grassrc6 file from your home directory and try again (or even edit it to include the correct values).

Hope this is some help.

Paul
