Hi
I’m using GRASS6.4.0 in a Linux machine and, everytime I define a new Location, with Location wizard, The select EPSG code table is empty, I mean no EPSG is listed there…
Any idea of what migh be happening or what file am I missing?
Thanks
Gilbert

To my knowledge, this bug has been fixed - how old is your installation?

I have just installed latest snapshot and it’s stil not listing EPSG’s codes and descriptions. Anyway to debug this in order to understand what might not be ok? (GRASS version svn6.4.0 in Linux)

a previous installation?By the way, in Location wizard what are the units for Spatial
Resolution?
meters, Km?The units are map units which depend on the projection. The selected
project
defines them.m

Ok I have first installed (Ubuntu 9.10) GRASS6.4.0~rc5.2 from KARMIC
and
then I installed GRASSsvn6.4.0, from GRASS website, at with a weekly
snapshot from January 2010.
I suppose that the karmic might be old but, since I have installed
GRASSsvn6.4.0 from Jan2010, it would be ok, right?I think that it was fixed on 2010-jan-09. So it depends if yours is
older
or
newer.Markus

In general don't be surprised if a generic linux build doesn't work
properly on Ubuntu (or other distro) as location of system support files
move about in an uncontrollable way.
On Ubuntu 9.10/Karmic with the "proj" package installed the path to the
EPSG file is "/usr/share/proj/epsg".
I've got the UbuntuGIS grass 6.4.0rc5 on ubuntu 9.10 running here, and
the location wizard looks fine.

To avoid this kind of problems, what is your suggestion in order to update GRASS, using weekly snapshots?

Mine is pointing to: /usr/local/share/proj/epsg. I changed to your path and it worked. Question: Where do I define this path in order to change it automatically when I install/update GRASS?

If you must have ubuntu-specific weekly snapshots, recompile
the package from source. see the debian/ dir in the GRASS source
code for details. Once you have the DebianGIS control files
downloaded, often it is as easy as checking out the SVN for the
6.4 releasebranch, then in a weekly cron job do something like
make distclean && \
svn up && \
debuild clean && \
debuild binary && \
dpkg -i ../grass*.deb
(use pbuilder or cowbuilder instead of debuild if you like)

the default is set at build time, but you can override it.
tcl/tk GUI:
# add this to ~/.bashrc (or set before starting GRASS)
GRASS_PROJSHARE=/usr/share/proj
export GRASS_PROJSHARE
wxGUI:
Config -> Preferences -> Projection tab -> EPSG file
/usr/share/proj/epsg
(sorry no file picker for that yet)
or:
edit $GISBASE/etc/Init.sh and look for GRASS_PROJSHARE
