hopefully fixed & ready for testing in 6.5svn r42988 (v.edit). devs: maybe do this for 'v.in.ascii -e' and 'v.digit -n' too? or move this into Vect_open_new() ? ... but I'm not totally convinced that's the right place for it either; the mapset may come from an earlier version of GRASS. perhaps db.execute instead of exiting with an error. #include <grass/dbmi.h> ... if (! db_get_default_driver_name() ) { G_message(_("Creating new DB connection based on default mapset settings...")); db_set_default_connection(); } see bug #7 http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/7 Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
