Hi,
copying a vector map into a mapset where the DBF driver
is defined but the dbf/ directory still absent (for
whatsoever reason), g.copy bails out with
g.copy vect=zipcodes_wake,myzipcodes_wake
Copy vector <zipcodes_wake@PERMANENT> to current mapset as
<myzipcodes_wake>
DBMI-DBF driver error:
Cannot open dbf database: /home/neteler/grassdata/nc_spm_04/neteler/dbf/
WARNUNG: Cannot open database
'/home/neteler/grassdata/nc_spm_04/neteler/dbf/'
no database is open
WARNUNG: Cannot copy table
WARNUNG: Cannot copy <zipcodes_wake@PERMANENT> to current mapset as
<myzipcodes_wake>
In db/drivers/dbf/db.c, I suggest to add a test around line 89 with
# pseudocode
if LOCATION/MAPSET/dbf/ does not exist
create it
How to implement this in a portable way?

Inspired by lib/gis/ code, I have now submitted a fix for this.
