Could you try both not setting home= (you get a temporary folder that is deleted when you exit R), or setting

home="U:\\Documents and Settings\\pgiraudo"

without the trailing forward slash?

This a problem connected to protecting spaces on the one hand and system specific directory separators on the other, I think.

Beforehand, the first time I run initGRASS("C:/OSGeo4W/bin",home="U:/Documents and Settings/pgiraudo/",override=T), I got:

initGRASS("C:/OSGeo4W/bin",home="U:/Documents and Settings/pgiraudo/",override=T) Error in system(paste("g.dirseps.exe -g", shQuote(Sys.getenv("WINGISRC"))), :
g.dirseps.exe not found

Then, if I try the same commande on QGIS Metis, I got:
initGRASS("C:/Program Files/Quantum GIS/grass",home="U:/Documents and Settings/pgiraudo",override=T)
Error in Sys.setenv(GISRC = gisrc) : wrong length for argument


Best,

Patrick

Dear all,

I am trying to init a GRASS session from within R, using the function initGRASS from the package spgrass6. GRASS is installed in two ways on my computer (here, the OS is Windows XP): with QGIS metis (precompiled version including grass 6.3 (2008)) and grass 6.4.0svn, just freshly installed with the Osgeo4W installer.

In both cases I get the same result:

initGRASS("C:/Program Files/Quantum GIS/grass",home="U:/Documents and
Settings/pgiraudo",override=T)
Error in Sys.setenv(GISRC = gisrc) : wrong length for argument

initGRASS("C:/OSGeo4W/bin",home="U:/Documents and
Settings/pgiraudo",override=T)
Error in Sys.setenv(GISRC = gisrc) : wrong length for argument

Any idea about what happens ?

No, without the output of traceback(), it isn't obvious, although here traceback() might not help. Run under debug(initGRASS) to the step before, that is:

        gisrc <- system(paste("g.dirseps.exe -g",
            shQuote(Sys.getenv("WINGISRC"))), intern=TRUE)

then run:

Sys.getenv("WINGISRC")
shQuote(Sys.getenv("WINGISRC"))
gisrc

and try to see what is going on. At this stage, Sys.getenv("GISRC") should be "junk", assigned a couple of lines earlier.

Maybe the grass-stats list would have a higher proportion of users of both GRASS and R.

Hope this helps,

Roger
