If you are using a current version of GRASS (and current version of gdal if you are on Linux or Mac), run the location wizard to create a new location and mapset in the same projection as your problematic one (I'm assuming that you are not in an xy location). You get to the location wizard from the "create location" button on the startup screen.

Select the new location and mapset and start GRASS.

Try 'display region' from the configure menu or type g.region -p from the command line.

Do you have any different results?

First of all, thanks for your reply.
To clarify my problem, i want to specify that the main
problem is that all command that involves the g.region always
returns the
reported error (ERROR: default region is not set.) also the "help".

I found a similar discussion here:
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2009-November/052988.html

Where the solution was to use of the SVN version of the
grass.
I already tried to use that version, bunt nothing changed.
Any me any suggestions?


maybe the rc5 bug is now gone, but the corrupted WIND file still
remains in your mapset. try 'g.region -d' to reset it.

does it work from a newly created mapset?

Hi Hamish,
Maybe it could be usefull to do a backward step.

I should convert a shapefile into a raster file (GeoTIFF format) at a
given resolution and I want to use the GRASS modules as a command line
tools.
I followed the instructions in the chapter "Automated usage of grass"
in the Markus's book and I created a bash script in order to prepare
the grass enviroment:

#!/bin/bash
LOCATION=test

GISBASE=/usr/local/grass-6.5.svn
GISDBASE=/usr/local/share/grassdata

rm $HOME/.grassrc6
rm -rf "$GISDBASE/$LOCATION" #cleaning LOCATION

TMPDIR=$$.tmp
mkdir -p $GISDBASE/$TMPDIR/temp

echo "LOCATION_NAME: $TMPDIR" > $HOME/.grassrc6
echo "MAPSET: temp" >> $HOME/.grassrc6
echo "DIGITIZER: none" >> $HOME/.grassrc6
echo "GISDBASE: $GISDBASE" >> $HOME/.grassrc6

export GISBASE=$GISBASE
export GISRC=$HOME/.grassrc6
export PATH=$PATH:$GISBASE/bin:$GISBASE/scripts

After these lines I run the v.in.ogr module to import the vector:
v.in.ogr -o -e dsn=./test_data/test_data.shp output=grass_map

And the following is the error i get.
ERROR: region for current mapset is not set
run "g.region"

I tried to get the g.region help message, also I tried to reset the
region (with g.region -d) and to set a default region (with g.region
-s) but I get always the same error.

I'm very new with GRASS and I cannot understand if there is a problem
in the installation, or it is a bug (as it seemed), or I'm not working
in the proper way.

Thanks (also for the patience)


No suggestions?
