[GRASS-user] Error with GRASS 7.8.3

Hi all:

I have had these 2 problems for a while, but tried to work around them… It may be with my build from source…

PROBLEM #1

When I try to create a new LOCATION and MAPSET (just a simple lat-long LOCATION over the CONUS), I use the GUI to select the projection and datum (lat-long & WGS84)… I get something like this:

Starting GRASS GIS…
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/grass78/gui/wxpython/location_wizard/wizard.py”, line 1080, in OnPageChanging
self.parent.parent, transforms=ret)
File “/usr/local/grass78/gui/wxpython/location_wizard/dialogs.py”, line 617, in init
transforms = ‘—\n\n0\nDo not apply any datum transformations\n\n’ + transforms
TypeError: must be str, not bytes

Exit was requested in GUI.

GRASS GIS will not start. Bye.

PROBLEM #2

when I attempt to re-project a RASTER between LOCATIONS, I get no errors, but all the raster values are NULL, even with the target LOCATION defined large enough. And sometimes, it works!

r.proj will report something like this:

Output:
Cols: 1 (original: 5390)
Rows: 1 (original: 3288)
North: 4762.500000 (original: 1985962.500000)
South: 0.000000 (original: -13673137.500000)
West: -4762.500000 (original: -11820525.000000)
East: 0.000000 (original: 13849350.000000)
EW-res: 4762.500000
NS-res: 4762.500000

The original raster is perfectly fine. Any initial thoughts?

Best,
Tom

Hi Markus!

OMG; thank you!!! version 7.8.4 solved my issues… I thought I was going crazy (I was)… I should have reported my problems sooner… thank you everyone!
