Hi all,
I am a new user of Grass, I just downloaded 6.4 for my Mac, Snow Leopard.
I am trying to work through the sample data from North Carolina
(NC_spm_08). However, when I try to add a raster or vector file and
display it, I get an error related to Freetype.
dyld: Library not loaded:
/Library/Frameworks/FreeType.framework/Versions/2.3/FreeType
Referenced from: /Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/d.vect
Reason: image not found
The file is listed in the "permanent" folder, but it doesn't allow the
view.
I did a search, and it seems there may be some similar errors out there. I
don't understand how to run one of the fixes though. I'd appreciate it if
somebody could give me a hand!

You need to install the frameworks on my site.
"GRASS" will start because it's just a shell to run the GRASS commands in, and does not link to any dependent libraries or frameworks, so you won't see errors like this until you try a command.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

> By the way, there was a response to my ticket by nabble, but I was not
notified in my inbox through Grass. Is this by design?
The communication between Trac and the grass-dev list is one-way. Replies
submitted through Trac are sent via email to the submitter, and also to
grass-dev, but email replies to grass-dev aren't fed into Trac, so they
won't be sent to the submitter unless the sender explicitly CC's them.
