[GRASS-user] help in installing GRASS in Mac

Dear GRASS users,


I still can’t run GRASS in my Mac OSX 10.6.7. I noticed two things:



ln: /Users/sgsalmo2011/Library/Documentation/Help/GRASS-6.4: No such file or directory

ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8


I think there are errors in GUI. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

1) Have at your side all available GRASS tutorials


2) When working on your location, the following materials
are extremely useful:
- A topo map of your area
- Current catalog of available computer maps


3) Check the GRASS webpages for feedback mailinglists and more:
http://www.grass-gis.org

Sev,

Did you download the Mac distribution from here: http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/grass ? Be sure to install all the Frameworks packages first.

Regards,
Tom

I’m no expert on this kind of thing but it seems there’s a problem?

What do you get from :

echo $LC_ALL

I get

en_US.UTF-8

If that’s not what you see, maybe try setting the locale by:

LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

and then start GRASS again.

Also,

echo $LANG

on my set-up gives

en_US.UTF-8

Not sure if the GUI is language sensitive, but it’s something else to try

LAN=en_US.UTF-8
