This my sound rather simple on my part but I've downloaded the OpenOSX-Additions-Grass-5.0.2.tar.bz2, grass5.0.2_powerpc-darwin6.5_bin.tar.bz, and grass5_powerpc-apple-darwin6.5_install.sh files. Though I've examined its contents I am unsure of the .sh script. For example, it contains the (uncommented) line "Usage: sh grass5install.sh grass_binpackage.tar.bz2 [dest_dir] [bin_dir]" though there is no grass_binpackage.tar.bz2 package.
Forgive me but I'm not use to UNIX installations other than fink or GUI installer packages. I currently have GRASS 5.0.1 installed via the OpenOSX CD and updater in /usr/local/grass5/ plus the file grass5 in /usr/bin/ . I recently upgraded my PostgreSQL by downloading postgresql-7.3.2.tar.gz to /usr/local/src/postgres--my first UNIX app installation without using an installer. Should these binaries and the script be placed in and run from ... /src/grass5/ or /usr/local/grass5/ with existing installation.
Sorry if this is long winded but if someone could give me a little direction it would be much appreciated.
I wonder why sometime d.zoom works one way then again it acts another.
Sometimes I can zoom on vector only displays. Other times Grass insists that
it wants to have an open raster. Last night I was trying to some on some
sites on a display. Grass insisted it wanted a raster. I don't have any
rasters for that map set.
And to compound the problem/issue, when on the occasions when I do add a
raster and select using the rubberband marquee method - the zoom doesn't
work and keeps telling me that north has to be north of south.

d.zoom first checks whether there are any raster, vector or sites maps
currently displayed; if there aren't, the "rast=" option becomes
mandatory.
However, it's conceivable that some program might display a map but
fail to record the fact that it's displayed it; in which case, d.zoom
will behave as if the map isn't there (i.e. require the "rast="
option).
AFAICT, d.zoom really needs to be re-written from scratch; actually,
it should probably be two different programs: one which zooms specific
maps, and one which zooms whatever happens to be on the display.

I wonder why.
Try running v.support on your vector files.
Are you using 5.0.2?
