Hi,
latest OSGeo4W binary install of 6.4.0rc3 on windows xp.
using the wxpython GUI.
Spearfish: add vector map
select roads. (or any other map)
don't even press [ok].
pop up error:
{{{
window title: Error in command execution db.describe.exe
Execution failed 'db.describe.exe -c --q table=roads driver=dbf
database=C:/DocumentsandSettings/Hamish/grassdata/spearfish60/
PERMANENT/dbf/'
Details:
Error: Unable to open database
<C:/DocumentsandSettings/Hamish/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/>
}}}
perhaps it is something to do with the spaces being stripped out of
"DocumentsandSettings" ??
after that the map renders ok, but I get the same error if I try to
query
the vector map.
querying the elevation.10m raster map spits out some error messages
to the
output window but then scrolls away and gives good data. (sorry
already
gone, no cut&paste)

Hamish,
Just helped a visiting student install the OSGeo4W GRASS yesterday and
hit several of the issues you mention. This one is easy to work
around, but I don't know how to fix.
The problem is because db.describe won't parse path names with spaces--
at least in our case. When we moved the GRASS database to C:/grassdata
all worked fine.
