[GRASS-user] grass 6.3 install problem... can't get past splash screen on centos
hi all, i've now had this problem on a couple centos 5.1 installations. i first build and install from source: fftw, proj4, and gdal, make sure i have all the tcl/tk devel libraries, then install grass 6.3 from source which compiles without errors but when i go to run it i can select a location (spearfish-permanent), then the Output window comes up with the medieval map splash screen which never goes away and none of the other windows appear. i have to do a kill -9 on the wish process to get rid of the output window and splash screen. i've successfully installed grass63 on a couple other systems, one of which was also centos 5.1, but i don't know what i've done differently this time. and there are no error messages being displayed. appreciate any thoughts on why this is happening? thanks, ken [apologies if this message appears twice, my first send was from the wrong address.] ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user

I had a similar problem some time ago and it turned out to be a badly installed gdal lib. I'd double check your gdal installation, including the shared libraries Daniel On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 4:58 PM, Ken Kwasnicki ken.kwasni...@gmail.com wrote: hi all, i've now had this problem on a couple centos 5.1 installations. i first build and install from source: fftw, proj4, and gdal, make sure i have all the tcl/tk devel libraries, then install grass 6.3 from source which compiles without errors but when i go to run it i can select a location (spearfish-permanent), then the Output window comes up with the medieval map splash screen which never goes away and none of the other windows appear. i have to do a kill -9 on the wish process to get rid of the output window and splash screen. i've successfully installed grass63 on a couple other systems, one of which was also centos 5.1, but i don't know what i've done differently this time. and there are no error messages being displayed. appreciate any thoughts on why this is happening? thanks, ken [apologies if this message appears twice, my first send was from the wrong address.] ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
