Dear List Members I am very new to Grass and am having a few problems getting started. I’m running it on Windows 7 Enterprise, 64 bit.
1) I’ve tried the version 6.4.3 installed with QGIS. a) In the Python GUI, when I try to add a vector or raster layer (Spearfish data, Quickstart tutorial), I don’t get a drop-down list. It adds an empty file with the message “Unable to fetch interface description for command ‘d.vect’/'d.rast'”. b) When I try to import a shapefile of my own, it does import it, but I can only see the attribute table, not the map. (I did remember to zoom to it and check the colour visibility). The message is “Command ‘d.vect map=UK_outline@eldp’ failed”. 2) I installed WinGRASS-6.4.3-1-Setup.exe<http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/WinGRASS-6.4.3-1-Setup.exe> and accepted the Microsoft Runtime libraries option. The Python GUI flickers in the toolbar and then crashes. Fortunately the old TclTK GUI works. So I have got a version which works but I’d really appreciate some suggestions on how I can get the attractive Python GUI up and running. Many thanks. -------- Diane Palmer Research Associate CREST (Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology) School of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering Loughborough University e-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> T: +44 (0) 1509 635 604
