[GRASS-user] Grass Installation on mac - not working
Dear GRASS community, I am new to GRASS and have a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. I followed the instructions in http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/grass and installed the following: 1-) GDAL complete 1.9 2-) Free Type 3-) cairo 4-) PIL 5-) GRASS.app 6.4.2-5 (Snow Leopard) 6-) GRASS GDAL PlugIn Finally I created a folder at home named grassdata and downloaded and decompressed the folder spearfish60. However, when I want to launch Grass, I get the following message Terminal got an error: can't get window 1.(-1728), and a terminal window opens. This happens also after I restart the computer. Cannot understand what is missing or where the problem is. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or support, don't know what to do. Actually all I want is to view and work with some river basin shape files I downloaded, using an open source GIS. Thanks very much in advance for your time on this and for your support.

[GRASS-user] Grass Installation on mac - not working
Dear Erika, did you try to first open the terminal and then start GRASS? I had this error as well in the past - I think it disappeared after installing Xcode with the command line tools (note that many things are not installed automatically anymore with Xcode but you have to install the command line tools in the preferences menu) Hope this helps Ralf Dear GRASS community, I am new to GRASS and have a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.

Re: [GRASS-user] Grass Installation on mac - not working
Yes, there appears to be a bug in the system somewhere so that Terminal.app needs to be running (doesn't need a window, just runnning), then GRASS will open a Terminal window on startup. It never bothered me because I work with the Terminal so much I never quit it. I tried a few ideas when I heard of the problem a while back with no resolution.

Re: [GRASS-user] Grass Installation on mac - not working
Hello Erika I would also agree with Hermann about starting with QGIS to view your files and work with them, but as I have recently discovered when setting up my labs, the plugins for QGIS on Mac have a lot of dependencies that are not included in the repo version, so follow the instructions here carefully downloading all the extra packages first http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/qgis GRASS and QGIS interface pretty nicely - I have a couple of QGIS / GRASS labs on my website that might help get you started (although they are specifically designed for archaeology students) http://www.pushingthesensors.com/teaching-materials/ Good luck!

Re: [GRASS-user] Grass Installation on mac - not working
Dear all, Thank you so much for your quick replies. I tried opening first the terminal and GRASS works now. I also tried installing QGSI and it also works, actually it was quite easy to see the shape files and tables with it. Rebecca's website is also very useful. I didn't try the Xcode but I am fine for the moment for the moment with the other options. Really thanks for your quick support.
