[GRASS-user] cannot display vector file

GRASS GRASS user

Hi all:

I recently installed Mr. Kyngesburye’s CVS 6.3 070220 binaries and new frameworks (updated from previous version).

When I try to display a vector in GIS manager I get:

Size of ‘coor’ file differs from value saved in topo file.

Please rebuild topology for vector ‘EGEWells@Hartney’

Cannot open topo file for vector ‘EGEWells@Hartney’.

The vector is simple 2D point vector with a few attributes.

I get the same error message from d.vect in the terminal.

I tried to rebuild topology with v.build but the repaired file would not display and would then no longer display in previous CVS version.

Is there something I need to do with data when moving to new CVS version?

I have a mac G5 with OS 10.4.8.

Thanks in advance

Dave

There is something wrong with your vector file. Can you import it again? The binaries will not have any effect on the vector file that I know of. I wouldn’t happen to be an old GRASS 5 file would it? If so, you need to import it into GRASS 6 (under import/vector in the menu).

You only need to rebuild if you had a very old version of GRASS you
might have to rebuild with v.build. Did the data files get damaged?
If migrating from GRASS 5 you might need to use v.convert.

does v.info show any features in the maps?
