[GRASS-user] Define New GRASS Location

GRASS GRASS user

I just installed grass_6_4_0RC5. When I define a new GRASS location, I can select projection, datum and ellipsoid, but before I get to the Define The Default Region window I get the following error message:

Execution failed: ‘g.proj -c proj4=+proj=merc +a=6378137.000 +rf=298.257223563 +no_defs location=newLocation’

Details:
Error: region for current mapset is not set run “g.region”

I then can not run g.region for the new mapset, because it is invalid.

yes sorry about that, it's a bug in RC5, now fixed.

"g.proj -c" fails.

see https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/654

you can still create a new mapset manually via the old text start up:
"grass64 -text"
