You may have installed Lorenzo's or OpenOSX's GRASS before. I think
one of those installed the Spearfish samples and the user/grass
folder. Basically, those extras are just for convenience from the
packager.
See the GRASS documentation for help setting up GRASS after
installation. This build of GRASS now has docs integrated with the
OSX help system - open Mac Help from the Finder, then select GRASS
from the Library menu. A readme is installed in /Users/Shared.
.grass6rc is not something that must exist for GRASS to run. Create
it if you need it. I prefer to use .bash_profile instead,
since .grass6rc is loaded *after* the initial mapset selection.
As for the 'grass63' executable, this is embedded in the application
bundle, and there is no need to directly run it, this is taken care
of when you double-click GRASS-6.3.app. It is possible to run it
from a Terminal if you like - it is renamed 'grass.sh' inside the app
bundle, in GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/Resources.

Hi,
I am using the binary GRASS.app 6.3 CVS 070530 from the
KyngChaos.com website. I am having some difficult getting GRASS 6.3
to install correctly.
I believe in my previous version of GRASS on another system, the
installer created the directory "/Users/ryan/grass" for me and put
the Spearfish dataset in there. This directory does not exist after
installing this new version for some reason. When I start GRASS, I
get an error:
WARNING: location <<UNKNOWN>> at GISDBASE </Users/ryan> is not a
directory or does not exist.
because /Users/ryan/grass does not exist. There is also no
Spearfish dataset anywhere. If I manually create the grass folder,
I still get the error b/c Grass doesn't detect it.
For some reason, the .grass6rc file and the executable grass63
will not install.
Am I missing something? I installed all of the frameworks before
installing 6.3 but I cannot get it to install completely.
Thanks,
Ryan
