Hi,
I'm getting some errors when trying to use some basic grass-6.4.0 operations.
I click on Add a Raster Layer and select the aspect file from the spearfish60 permanent dataset.
After that I click on Display Active Layers and I get an error message "Error setting region: child process exited abnormally"
Hi,
I built grass-6.4.0 using the following configure command:
./configure --with-cxx --prefix=/Applications/GRASS --enable-macosx-app --with-x --with-opengl=x11 --without-readline --x-includes=/usr/X11/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib --with-opengl-includes=/usr/X11/include --with-opengl-libs=/usr/X11/lib
Does this have something to do with me not starting the X11 display server? How do I do this on Mac OS X?
Is there a way to get grass to compile with Carbon bindings?
Best regards,
Elvis Dowson

After that I get an error message saying" Error can’t read parts(projection)": no such variable

If I click on the details button, I get the following error information:
can’t read “parts(projection)”: no such variable
can’t read “parts(projection)”: no such variable
while executing
“regexp -nocase {^([0-9]+)} $parts(projection) trash parts(projection)”
(procedure “MapCanvas::runprograms” line 46)
invoked from within
“MapCanvas::runprograms $mon [expr {$mymodified != 0}]”
(procedure “MapCanvas::drawmap” line 38)
invoked from within
“MapCanvas::drawmap $mon”
(procedure “MapCanvas::display_server” line 9)
invoked from within
“MapCanvas::display_server”
(“after” script)What could be causing it? I just built grass-6.4.0 on Mac OS X 10.5.5.

99.9% of the time, this error is related to the GDAL library.
If you start GRASS in text mode then run "g.region -p", you may get a
more informative error message.

Hi Glynn,
Running this command yeilds the following output:

Hi,
I fixed it !! 
I had originally downloaded Tcl & Tk 8.5.4 and built it. However, when I launched grass-6.4.0, it kept using the Mac OS 10.5.5 supplied versions of Tcl and Tk 8.4.
So, I explictly specified the environment variables to help grass use the correct versions of the Tcl Tk library and it worked.
export GRASS_TCLSH=/usr/local/bin/tclsh8.5
export GRASS_WISH=/usr/local/bin/wish8.5
Best regards,
Elvis
