Hi,
2009/3/10 Vincent Bain <bain@toraval.fr>:
related to the location wizard, perhaps what follows does not deal with
any sort of bug but my misuse of the location creation process :
If you need to create from scratch a new gisdabe, located elsewhere than
the current one, the location wizard first writes your new location
directory in the /current/ gisdbase instead of the new one you've just
set. Then when you define a new mapset or want to start from within
PERMANENT, the application fails, with this message :
seems to work for me.
1. Create new directory for gisdbase (e.g. $HOME/grassdata1) - mkdir
2. Choose gisdbase
3. Run location wizard
4. New location created in $HOME/grassdata1
?

I can confirm this. Regardless of whether you browse to a new directory in the startup screen or put in a new gisdbase directory in the location wizard, it only makes a location in the "current" gisdbase.

mkdir $HOME/grassdata_test
grass65 -wx
set new gisdbase (enter / browse)
run location wizard
location created in new gisdbase

Yep. Just did this and it doesn't work for me. OS related? I'm trying to find out what OS Vincent is running.

Right now I'm switching to 65 develbranch...
I run grass on Ubuntu 8.04 on my PC and debian 5 on my laptop (not
accessible at the moment to test).
