[GRASS-user] gis.m error

Hi,

With SVN GRASS 6.5 (built today), starting gis.m gave this error:

---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->---
GRASS 6.5.svn > gis.m&
[1] 26944
[1]+ Done gis.m

The error only occurs in a XY location with these details:

---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->---
GRASS 6.5.svn > g.region -p
projection: 0 (x,y)
zone: 0
north: 90
south: -90
west: -180
east: 180
nsres: 1
ewres: 1
rows: 180
cols: 360
cells: 64800
---<--------------------cut here---------------end--------------------->---

I see no problems in other locations.

Cheers,

Hi Seb,

Give a little bit more information about the system you are running grass.
Command lines works ok, I suppose.

By the way, its appears that you are importing world wide maps. Are you importing bioclimatic maps for species distribution modeling? Case yes, we can change some ideas off-topic.

Cheers

Of course, I forgot to include that important info: this is in a Debian
sid AMD64 system, and GRASS was built with these CFLAGS:

CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure --enable-64bit --with-libs=/usr/lib64 \
    --with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.4 --with-readline --with-cxx \
    --with-odbc --with-mysql --with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql \
    --with-postgres --with-postgres-includes=/usr/include/postgresql \
    --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj --with-motif \
    --with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
    --with-cairo

you importing bioclimatic maps for species distribution modeling?

I was actually using this simple XY location for some intermediate
operations while processing ocean color level 3 binned data. I used to
do a lot of these things using GMT tools, but now the project has become
too large to handle outside a GIS, so am exploring workflows.

Thanks,
