My OS version is 10.5.7. I don't know how to tell for sure if I got the right build, but I think so. I followed the link entitled MacOSX from http://grass.itc.it/download/index.php, and after installing some frameworks went on to http://www.kyngchaos.com/software:grass/. I recall going over to the Apple site to find out whether I was Leopard or Tiger, so I probably got that right.
Just today I installed a new Python 2.6.2, which seemed to make no difference. -Michael On 6/9/09 3:14 PM, "William Kyngesburye" <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jun 9, 2009, at 1:45 PM, Michael Margolis wrote: > >> Progress! >> >> For any other novices lurking, that /.grassrc6 was in my root (i.e., >> Users/MyName). > > That's what the tilde '~' refers to, your home folder. > >> I had been misled by a /.grassrc64 in a directory called >> "demolocation" a few layers inside my system Library. >> > That's probably in the modbuild folder.
