First, make sure you have the right GRASS version that the Qgis you have was made for. (My Qgis.app is built for GRASS 6.4)

For it to work automatically, GRASS should be exactly where it was installed, and not moved or renamed. If Qgis doesn't find it, try trashing your Qgis preferences plist.

The reason GRASS must be exactly as installed is not because of the GISBASE - this you can change, as you tried. It's because the GRASS libraries are linked by absolute paths. Something I've been meaning to check is if Qgis uses DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, like GRASS itself uses, so it can find the GRASS libraries whereever they are.

If Qgis is still complaing about the GISBASE, there is a trick you need to use - the GISBASE is not the GRASS application, but a folder inside the GRASS application. Right-click the GRASS application and "Show package contents". Command-option-drag the "Contents" folder to your desktop.

In Qgis, when it asks to set the GISBASE, open the Contents alias on your desktop and select the "MacOS" folder there as the GISBASE.

hi all,

installed qgis 1.0 on macbook pro.
when open it it says "QGIS non riesce a trovare l'istallazione di GRASS. Specificare il percorso (GISBASE) secondo l'istallazione di GRASS?"

I give ok and go to the Grass app. in the application folder. but does not work.

What and where is GISBASE? I looked in the application folder but found nothing useful.

With the previous version no such problem.

Someone can tell me wich path I have to set?

thank you all

Bernardo
