Dear GRASS users,


I am interested to use GRASS in my MacBookPro but unfortunately constrained on its installation. I downloaded the software yesterday but I am having a hard time to use it. I also already downloaded the sample data to run the tutorial but unfortunately I cant use the software. The following error below was manifested.


Any assistance from this users list will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.


Regards,


Sev

hi

GRASS GIS needs other packages to be installed on you mac, before you can
install it. look at this website: http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/grass
http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/grass . There the required packages are
listed up.

I hope this is all you need.

Cheers,
Tim
