Hi,

I am getting following error while using the t.* commands in GRASS-GIS

DBMI-DBF driver error:
Unable create DBF database: home/grass_location/user1/dbf/

DBMI-DBF driver error:
Unable create DBF database: home/grass_location/user1/dbf/

ERROR: Unable to open database

Kindly help.

The easiest solution will be to switch the DB backend to SQLite:
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/db.connect.html

# set to SQLite default database backend
db.connect -d

Then it should work.

Hi,

2013/2/26 Manish Gautam <manish.gautam29@gmail.com>:

DBMI-DBF driver error:
Unable create DBF database: home/grass_location/user1/dbf/

should start with '/', ie. /home/...

What says

db.connect -p

?
