[GRASSLIST:6120] Re: s.in.ascii debug

Well i tried reinstalling grass, the file is only one site - so it can't really be taking up a lot of space, and I also tried to add the site interactively typing in the x,y coordinates, same message. There are not a lot of other app draining memory because nothing else is running.

How would you proceed - I need a site coverage with one point on it.

Could anyone tell me what this error message might mean and how to debug it? I am simply trying to create a site marker from utm coordinates in a utm projected location using an ascii file of the format

You can just create the site file directly and copy into your mapset.
Sites are in ascii format anyhow.

See the section "Sites (point data) import" in the GRASS tutorial at
http://grass.itc.it/gdp/grass5tutor/HTML/book1.html for a very short
introduction and the s.in.ascii man page for a description of the format.
