[GRASS-dev] GRASS Book v.3 and making a new location

GRASS GRASS developer

Hi Devs,

A colleague of mine just noticed that the process for creating a new location
from georeferenced file (GRASS startup GUI) does not match the text in the
3rd edition of the GRASS Book.

Also, when trying to make a new location in this manner the following error is
given:

can't set "fileOpt::dtnum": parent namespace doesn't exist
can't set "fileOpt::dtnum": parent namespace doesn't exist
    while executing
"set fileOpt::dtnum 0"
    (procedure "fileOpt::sel_dtrans" line 7)
    invoked from within
"fileOpt::sel_dtrans $dtrans"
    (procedure "fileOpt::create_loc" line 26)
    invoked from within
"fileOpt::create_loc"
    (procedure "fileOpt::def_loc" line 26)
    invoked from within
"fileOpt::def_loc"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel \#0 $cmd"
    (procedure "Button::_release" line 18)
    invoked from within
"Button::_release .fileloc.row3.submit"
    (command bound to event)
    
Note that this was done with no .grassrc6 file. It seems like the startup GUI
is having problems identifying the GISDBASE path.

Any ideas on what may be causing this? I am using GRASS64-svn

thanks,

Dylan

Forgot to mention, the relevent pages in the GRASS Book: pg. 37.
