Subject: [GRASS-user] access to old mapset after reinstall of operating system and grass version
Hello grass community,
I unfortunately had to re-install my mac os x operating system, then do a new download of grass, installing grass6.3 (previously running grass6.2). after the re-install, i put all my backed up data back on the machine. however, when i launch the new grass6.3 on my newly installed os, i am unable to enter grass with one of the old mapsets, permission is denied. i have checked the permissions on these files, i.e. i have read/write access to the PERMANENT and other mapsets within a location. but i can only start grass in that location by creating a brand new mapset. i want to reestablish my ability to open grass in those mapsets that i created and that belong to me, and that i was able to use before re-loading the data on the new operating system - anyone have any advice on how to fix this?
thanx,
Janet
My guess is that you need newer versions of the frameworks packages. If you are running a newer version of the OS (10.4-10.5), I recommend that you install 6.4 and current frameworks.
