Hi Tim,
You should run R from within the GRASS shell
environment.  So launch a terminal and run GRASS,
select a GRASS location and mapset, and then from
within the GRASS shell, run R. You should then be able
to read/write GRASS rasters from R.

Regards,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

No, as it was I was trying to run things through R. Grass was (is) running, but just incidentally. Your comment made me think I needed to run initGRASS() first, so I tried, but got the following:

> initGRASS(gisBase="/Library/GRASS/6.4", gisDbase="/Users/timholland/Documents/GIS/Vietnam_General/VN_GrassDbase") Error in initGRASS(gisBase = "/Library/GRASS/6.4", gisDbase = "/Users/timholland/Documents/GIS/Vietnam_General/VN_GrassDbase") :
  A GISRC file already exists; to override, set override=TRUE

Should I be running R through GRASS? (as opposed to vice-versa, as had been my understanding). If so, how do I do that?
Again, sorry for really basic questions, but thank you for the help.

Best,
Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Is R running within a GRASS session?

        Hello,
        I'm sorry to keep making so much noise on the list for what
        I'm sure are
basic questions. I am having trouble loading in a GRASS raster into R using the
        readRAST6
command. Using:
            readRAST6("rasterMap",mapset="/Users/etc/my_mapset")

        I get the following error:
            Error in if (file.exists(file) == FALSE) if
(!missing(asText) && asText ==
        :  argument is of length zero
            Error in parseGRASS(cmd) : g.region not parsed
            sh: g.region: command not found

Is there something I am doing wrong here? Also, when I am working with spgrass6 in general, should I
        have my working
        directory set to the GRASS DBase I am using, or does that
matter? Thank you for the help, Tim
