[GRASSLIST:2343] Re: GIS ERROR: error while writing to temp file: No such file or directory

Hi list, My umask value is 0022. Now i have tried the following: Compiled and installed a new version of GRASS 5.3 in another directory. THe problem insists. “GIS ERROR: error while writing to temp file:no such file or directory” I wonder if the data has anything to do. The data come from a XP/cygwin installation of GRASS 5.0.2. I just copied the folders and chown-chmod them. Any new ideas???Deadlines are running out…:frowning: THanks Konstantinos THeofilis

So now all files and directories are owned by you, and are
readable/writeable by you, right?

Any new ideas???Deadlines are running out...:frowning:

Are there any upper/lower case mismatches? Windows doesn't care about
case, but Unix does. If GRASS tries to read a file called "GROUP", and
the file is actually called "group", it will work on Windows but not
on Unix. I'm not sure about OSX, though.

If the Windows installation is still operational, you could try
exporting the data (using r.out.* etc) from the Windows installation
then importing it (using r.in.* etc) into a newly-created location on
the Mac.

In any case, direct copying of database directories between different
architectures isn't reliable. This is particularly relevant if the
systems have differing byte order or word size.

Well, I found a workaround so i managed to finish my work. I do not know what the problem was though.
I rectified each band alone. It worked perfectly.

I do not know the reason of the problem, but maybe the workaround should be considered as one more option when encountering problems with i.ortho.photo..

Thanks for help me Glynn :slight_smile:

  i still think it has something to do with the direct copy of the data from Windows..
