Hi,
I’m running Grass-GIS 6.2, the Ubuntu build from http://www.les-ejk.cz/ubuntu/ (for those who previously knew me as a Mac user, I’m running Linux at home).
I have a vector that has database links on Layer 1 and Layer 2. v.db.connect shows that both connections are active, and v.info correctly describes the table linked to either layer.
My problem is that I can’t get labels from Layer 2 to display. Any suggestions?

I would suggest you to use switch to grass63.

exact command?
Also note that layer for labels is '1' by default in GRASS 6.2. In
GRASS 6.3 default value of 'llayer' is based on given 'layer' value.

I might, except I don’t think I’m familiar enough with Linux after a couple of weeks to start compiling from source … there’s a premade 6.2 for Ubuntu, and that build was the only one I could get to work… (the fault is almost certainly me, not the various builds!).

I was selecting the labels layer from the GIS Manager screen. Copying the command from the GIS.M output I get:
d.vect map=Australia color=0:0:0 lcolor=0:0:0 fcolor=170:170:170 display=shape type=point,line,boundary,centroid,area icon=basic/circle size=5 layer=1 lsize=8 xref=left yref=center llayer=2

you did not say, you want to see any labels. display=shape,attr
attrcol=label_column_name should do the job
martin already told you, that you need layer 1 in grass 6.2
I would like to prepare grass63 packages, however, I'm fighting with the
debian dpatch system currently (frankie, any howto?)

Jachym, many thanks. I didn’t realise that in this version (6.2) I have to have labelling on Layer 1 - I wish you well with the Debian patch system.b The output I copied below was from the GIS.m output - not the command line.
(For other Freespire users, the Ubuntu build is the only one I could get to work - I’m only a Linux newbie and wasn’t brave enough to try building from source!)
Another (really stupid) question. I want to run r.los, but it needs an eastings-northings location. I can’t, however, see how to get the right extents for creating location. I’m happy to move the relevant raster into a new location, but how do I create a target location with the correct eastings/northings values?
