[GRASS-user] Re: d.vect dialog issues, and query tool issues (previously: GRASS GUI issues)

I just came across something more in regards to python misbehaviour - it
may well be that GRASS 6.4.1 needs python 2.5 and ubuntu 10.04 has 2.6.

One website that outlined their success with GRASS after getting the 2.5
python version is
http://dipeshbhattarai.com/?p=57
(note they were using windows7 and it too had python 2.6)

more searching finds other sites with ppa's etc for this 2.5 version.

I am yet to try it... a bit hesitant in whether I'll break something on my system... :wink:

Anyone know if newer versions of GRASS use python 2.6 or higher?

Shane.

GRASS (wxGUI) should work with python2.4+ (including 2.6 or 2.7).
Python 3 is not supported.

Hi Martin,

so if those error messages aren't relevant, and the wxGUI should be
working with python 2.6... any suggestions on what else I should be
looking into to figure out the d.vect freeze issue, and/or the lack of
output from query tool in display mode?

Regards,
Shane.

Hi Martin, excuse slight delay in reply, busy elsewhere..

yeah, i think i put specs in earlier posts but they're _days_ old
now :wink: and longwinded.

6.4.1 from 'unstable' ubuntu-gis repositories, as per info on grass
download site. ubuntu 10.04.3 64 bit
uname -a output:
Linux [my-computer-name] 2.6.32-34-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 13
19:39:17 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

If you want to see how to 'reproduce' the problems I have, refer back to
earlier post/s.

Thanks :slight_smile:
shane.

it's quite old version, could you try 6.4.2RC1?
