Hey yall… I’m trying to filter out some bumps in my setup of Grass

System setup:
win xp with Cygwin and Xfree
250 Ram (plenty fast for my applic)

Grass Setup
XGrass5.0, tcltkgrass tools, sunprc tools

Data set:
Leics using online tutorial

Situation:
GRASS~:r.average base=landcov cover=topo output=avheight

Note:
r.stats 100%
percent complete: 100%

Difficulty:
GRASS~:d.rast avheight
WARNING: Fail of initial read of compressed file (avheight in user1)
WARNING: unable to open raster map (avheight in user1)
ERROR Not able to open cell file for (Avheight)

File details:
cats: -rw-r–r-- 43 avheight
cell: -rw-r–r-- 0 avheight
cell_misc: drwxr-xr-x+ 0 avheight
cellhd: -rw-r–r-- 207 avheight
fcell: -rw-r–r-- 27087 avheight
hist: -rw-r–r-- 314 avheight

any help to rectify this situation would be great…

I also get the same trouoble with outputs using other programs like
R.buffer

thanks

My suspicion is that this is due to Cygwin's CRLF<->LF conversion.
Try either:

a) adding "binmode" to the value of the CYGWIN environment, or
b) mounting the "filesystem" (i.e. directory) on which the data
resides in binary mode.

Note: if the problem is due to CRLF<->LF conversion, any maps which
you have generated will already be corrupt, so they would need to be
regenerated.
