Greetings all,
I recently installed Grass 6.3.0-3-Tig on my mac running Tiger, after
updating all necessary frameworks listed by William Kyngesburye.
Grass seems to start normally (though with lots of text at startup in
the terminal window, included at the end of this email), and it opens
the standard startup screen. I click Enter Grass, it spins a bit,
then this error in an X11 window: "Error setting region (Problem with
g.region?): child killed: trace trap", folled by this text in the
terminal window after I click the 'ok' button on the error window:
GRASS 6.3.0 (Brandon):~ > Error in startup script: can't read "parts
(w)": no such variable
while executing
"set $parts(w) [expr round($parts(w)/$parts(ewres))*$parts(ewres)]"
(procedure "MapCanvas::zoom_gregion" line 16)
invoked from within
...
One of my students just tried 6.4SVN and libraries today.
Let the GUI crash. Then from the command line, check g.region by typing
g.region -gp
Probably you have a gdal problem. It will say so in the error message,
if this is the case.
Here are a couple things in general.
1) If you are using 6.4 (I know, you said 6.3.0 for Tiger but stay
with me), don't forget that you need to install TclTk separately now.
Get it from Active States. William provides a link on his frameworks
page. It's painless.
2) We just found a problem with a gdal framework (this might be your
problem). The last version 1.5 at least is compiled with a PostgreSQL
dependency. It needs to be recompiled without Postgres. I'm not sure
about 1.6 but wouldn't be surprised if it is accidently the same.
Michael
