Hi Becky,

if you want to have it super easy, download and install
gvSIG OADE 2010:

  http://www.oadigital.net/software/gvsigoade

When you run the installer, make sure to tick all available
extensions, so you get the SEXTANTE and GRASS geoprocessing tools.
Full instructions are here:

  ftp://88.208.250.116/gvSIG_OADE_Installation.pdf

A quickstart guide for gvSIG is also available:

  ftp://88.208.250.116/gvSIG_OADE_Quickstart.pdf

... but surely, someone at your department is already using gvSIG?

You can then run a large number of GRASS modules directly via
the SEXTANTE graphical user interface.

r.cva and r.promincence are already included.

Best,

Ben

Hi GRASS-Users

Apologies for cross-posting.

My difficulty is with install AdvancedViewshedAnalysis extension using GEM within GRASS 6.4.ORC6

command 'gem6' is not recognised

command 'gem install AdvancedViewshedAnalysis.tar' produces the following error message

ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'AdvancedViewshedAnalysis.tar' (>= 0) in any repository

I have an older version of GRASS (GRASS 6.3.0). From here the command
'gem6 -i AdvancedViewshedAnalysis.tar -v' begins to install and then aborts with the following error message:

ERROR: Compilation failed for these module(s):
/private/tmp/grass.extension.Mngj89/AdvancedViewshedAnalysis/src/raster/r.cva

Run 'make' manually in each module's directory for details.
make: *** [default] Error 1

I've now run make in both modules (I think), but I still get the same error message. I also don't understand why the tar file is recognised from GRASS 6.3 but not 6.4. I'm almost certainly doing something very stupid - any help gratefully received!

Thanks
Becky

Thanks for this - Hadn’t come across gvSIG before. No longer part of a department so slightly out of the loop.

Will give it a go.

I’ve now downloaded gvSIG OADE 2010. Thanks for putting me on to this by the way… it’s brilliant!

However, I’m struggling to setup GRASS in SEXTANTE settings window. Doesn’t recognise GRASS GIS installation folder (error message ‘The selected folder does not contain a valid GRASS installation’) … or perhaps what i mean is that I don’t know where the GRASS installation folder is on the mac. I’ve tried several different options, but all give same error message.

Any help would be great.

Hi Becky,

The installation manual:

  ftp://88.208.250.116/gvSIG_OADE_Installation.pdf

has some details about setting up the software on the Mac.
See section "4":
If you have ticked the "GRASS GIS" option in the installer,
then the folder you need to specify is within the App folder
of gvSIG OADE 2010 on your Mac: "Contents/Resources/grass".

If you are using a Mac, you should definitely read through
the Mac specific section of the PDF manual above and
also the Mac section on the support page here:

  http://www.oadigital.net/software/gvsigoade/gvsigbugs

This version of gvSIG has been developed to run on Mac OS X
Snow Leopard and Intel hardware. Anything older than that
will probably require some extra fiddling to make it work.

Best,

Ben

Thanks for both your suggestions. However, copying ‘/Applications/gvsig-oade-2010-1.0.0/gvSIG-OADE-2010.app/Contents/Resources/grass’ still does not work.

Will email gvSIG & Sextante lists as suggested.
