I just checked out 6.5 from CVS and built it and I get exactly the same
error....

Good news. Any chance this could be fixed for 6.4? Seems late in a version
release cycle to have a large bug like this slip by.

Hi

I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.6 using Grass 6.4 RC3. I'm using the WISH TclTk
GUI using ActiveTcl 8.5 from ActiveState.

I'm having driver errors when accessing vector attribute information
via the GUI, but not from the command line

For example- using spearfish
Adding a vector to the map
Selected buglist from the list of vectors
Clicked the "Show Attribute Table" button in the lower panel of the
GRASS GIS Manager window

Got this error in the output

db.select table=bugsites database=/Users/knussear/Documents/Research/
GIS/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/ driver=dbf

Bad file descriptor: dup r
dbmi: Protocol error
Unable to start driver <dbf>

I copied the same line and pasted it in the terminal

db.select table=bugsites database=/Users/knussear/Documents/Research/
GIS/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/dbf/ driver=dbf
cat|str1
1|Beetle site
2|Beetle site
3|Beetle site
4|Beetle site
5|Beetle site
6|Beetle site
7|Beetle site
8|Beetle site
9|Beetle site
10|Beetle site
11|Beetle site
12|Beetle site
13|Beetle site
14|Beetle site
..... and more rows

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Ken,

I just tried this with GRASS 6.5 svn, which has an identical TclTk GUI
as the release branch currently. I added bugsites to the layer manager
and clicked show attribute data and it shows the same information as
you get in the terminal.

Perhaps, there is some problem with db.select that has been fixed
after 6.4rc3.

Michael

Do you have the latest and greatest frameworks from William Kyngesburey's site?
