sorry,
$GRASSDATA should be the directory, where your GRASS data are located
$LOCATION_NAME should be name of the location, you are using for

FWIW, the name of the GRASS variable for the database directory is
GISDBASE.

You can make the GRASS variables appear as shell variable with the
command:

  eval `g.gisenv`

After which, you can use the variables like e.g.:

  ls -l $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME
or:
  ls -l $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET
etc.

As for the error message in the subject: you must own the mapset
directory in order to select it as the current mapset. The PERMANENT
mapset will normally be owned by whoever originally created the
location.

You shouldn't use the PERMANENT mapset as the current mapset for daily
use; create a new mapset instead. PERMANENT should be reserved for
important data which should be readily available regardless of the
current mapset.

Until you get to the point of needing several mapsets in one location,
you probably shouldn't have anything in the PERMANENT mapset except
for the standard files (DEFAULT_WIND, PROJ_INFO, PROJ_UNITS).

Hi!!
I have set the Enviroment Variable by eval ‘g.gisenv’

when i make echo $LOCATION_NAME it gives Map1
echo $MAPSET GIVES kunal
echo $GISDBASE =/usr/local/grassdata
i have following queries

i have copied the r.example dir into the /usr/local/grass-6.2.3/raster/ and add the r.example in the Make file present in this directory…when i make the directory it still giving the message
ERROR: MAPSET PERMANENT - permission denied
why is it so when i am using kunal as a mapset.

i want to see the output of r.example which i added …
i will run make install after make…my grass is also running …where to go to check the output.

Please suggest the way to handle the two problems.
Thanks

so,
since I do not understand, what you are doing, I'll try to describe the
"development procedure" from the beginning:

1) download the source code
2) go to grass_trunk directory
3) download r.example and unpack to grass_trunk/raster directory
4) ./configure ... ; make; sudo make install
5) go to grass_trunk/raster/r.example directory
6) You'll have to adjust MODULE_TOPDIR variable in Makefile to "../.."
7) run make
8) go to grass_trunk
9) run sudo make install

10) start grass
11) r.example should be there (r.example --help is your friend)

BTW: Maybe we should move [rv].example from intevation server to osgeo
as well ?

Where to store it? grass_source/grass-examples ?

they are already in the main source, in doc/:

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/doc/raster/r.example

where is the old URL pointing to intevation? we could change that..

however, http://grass.osgeo.org/devel/cvs.php has to be rewritten

Hi jachym,
do i need subversion tool for downloading the source code .???
OR
i have taken grass-6.2.3.tar.gz. is it will do the same that u mentioned in the previous mail?
But it does not have grass_trunk directory …but it has the raster dir in it…
could i do the same things on grass-6.2.3 and adding r.example to raster directory,

Hi jachym,
do i need subversion tool for downloading the source code .???
OR
i have taken grass-6.2.3.tar.gz. is it will do the same that u mentioned in the previous mail?
But it does not have grass_trunk directory …but it has the raster dir in it…
could i do the same things on grass-6.2.3 and adding r.example to raster directory,

so,
since I do not understand, what you are doing, I’ll try to describe the
“development procedure” from the beginning:

  1. download the source code

  2. go to grass_trunk directory

  3. download r.example and unpack to grass_trunk/raster directory

  4. ./configure … ; make; sudo make install

  5. go to grass_trunk/raster/r.example directory

  6. You’ll have to adjust MODULE_TOPDIR variable in Makefile to “…/…”

  7. run make

  8. go to grass_trunk

  9. run sudo make install

  10. start grass

  11. r.example should be there (r.example --help is your friend)

BTW: Maybe we should move [rv].example from intevation server to osgeo
as well ?

Where to store it? grass_source/grass-examples ?

Hi!!
I have set the Enviroment Variable by eval ‘g.gisenv’

when i make echo $LOCATION_NAME it gives Map1
echo $MAPSET GIVES kunal
echo $GISDBASE =/usr/local/grassdata
i have following queries

i have copied the r.example dir into
the /usr/local/grass-6.2.3/raster/ and add the r.example in the Make
file present in this directory…when i make the directory it still
giving the message
ERROR: MAPSET PERMANENT - permission denied
why is it so when i am using kunal as a mapset.

i want to see the output of r.example which i added …
i will run make install after make…my grass is also running …where
to go to check the output.

Please suggest the way to handle the two problems.
Thanks

sorry,
$GRASSDATA should be the directory, where your GRASS
data are located
$LOCATION_NAME should be name of the location, you
are using for
current GRASS session

FWIW, the name of the GRASS variable for the database
directory is
GISDBASE.

You can make the GRASS variables appear as shell
variable with the
command:

eval g.gisenv

After which, you can use the variables like e.g.:

ls -l $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME
or:
ls -l $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET
etc.

As for the error message in the subject: you must own
the mapset
directory in order to select it as the current mapset.
The PERMANENT
mapset will normally be owned by whoever originally
created the
location.

You shouldn’t use the PERMANENT mapset as the current
mapset for daily
use; create a new mapset instead. PERMANENT should be
reserved for
important data which should be readily available
regardless of the
current mapset.

Until you get to the point of needing several mapsets
in one location,
you probably shouldn’t have anything in the PERMANENT
mapset except
for the standard files (DEFAULT_WIND, PROJ_INFO,
PROJ_UNITS).

Yes you can use the svn (=subversion) tool to download GRASS source code
and the grass-addons as well. Look at

Hi!

On Compilation of Code ,I am getting this Error .
MAPSET PERMANENT - permission denied

I have seen this recently on Ubuntu. After 30min I gave up... some
"sudo" issue which seems to be Ubuntu specific. Could this be
your problem?
