Hi David
Hello,
I'm running Lorenzo's binaries (6.2.1) on OS X. I've recently
switched my default shell program from tcsh to bash. When I try to
launch QGIS from within GRASS, I receive the following:
Bash shell is required.
In a new Terminal window enter:
% env
and see the result. If you see this row:
SHELL=/bin/bash
Bash shell is used and you can use GRASS OS X.
Or change your default shell inside OS X in two ways:
Solid way:
Go to into the NetInfo Manager program (Applications -> Utilities ->
NetInfo Manager). Click on "users" then find your account. In the
lower pane is "shell" and see the path. If you see "/bin/tcsh" change
it to /bin/bash, then quit NetInfo Manager and restart.
Light way:
If you don't want to change the NetInfo database entry for your
account, go to Terminal application (Applications -> Utilities ->
Terminal) then go to Terminal -> Terminal Preferences and select
"Execute this command" and make sure it's the shell you want (usually
is /bin/bash).
awk is used in many command inside Grass. It's checked at the start of script.
Go to Terminal and in the new window (not inside Grass) enter:
% which awk
and see the result. In OS X the path is:
% /usr/bin/awk
If you want you can comment the rows where awk is checked ...
Edit with Text editor the file
"/Applications/GrassGIS/Grass6.app/Contents/Resources/grass-6.2.1/scripts/d.qgis"
and comment these rows:
# Check if we have awk.
# if [ ! -x "`which awk`" ] ; then
# echo "$SCRIPT: awk required, please install awk or gawk first" 2>&1
# exit 1
# fi
Now restart d.qgis script (Open Qgis application under Xtns menu) and
select QGIS to run or inside terminal enter:
---> GRASS OS X
GRASS 6.2.1 (location):~ > d.qgis file=/Applications/qgis-0.8.0/qgis.app &
---> GRASS X11
GRASS 6.2.1 (location):~ > d.qgis
file=/Applications/qgis-0.8.0/qgis.app/Contents/MacOS/qgis &
Bye
