[GRASS-user] Problem with the tcl/tk GUI

Hello,

I just installed the grass 6.4.0 RC4 *.rpm from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/openSUSE_10.3 on my OpenSuse 10.3 machine.

Within the nc dataset I opened the sqlite mapset and copied the the geology map to the splite mapset with:
~> g.copy vect=geology@PERMANENT,geology
Then I tried to show the attribute table of the geology map by using the tcl/tk GUI (the button in the lower part of the GIS Manager window). By clicking the button 'Show attribute data' the following command is sent to the GIS.m window:
db.select table=geology database=/home/martin/GISDataBase/nc_spm_08/sqlite/sqlite.db driver=dbf
Note the driver option! This command fails with the error:
Cannot open dbf database: /home/martin/GISDataBase/nc_spm_08/sqlite/sqlite.db
By correcting the driver option to sqlite everything works fine.
By the way: v.db.connect -p geology shows the correct sqlite driver.
