[GRASSLIST:6237] Re: gisdbase error

Ok Markus, ok Glynn

Grass 5.0.2 has been just released, hasn't been?
I'm about to re-download the Grass (Xserver)!
In fact, 'usr\local\grass' might be damaged!

I'm gonna let you know my results

Thank you very much

Odd. At first I thought that it might be due to the use of
bash-specific features (Cygwin's /bin/sh is ash) but, apart from an
unrelated bug, it works with ash on Linux.

The unrelated bug is:

  trap "echo 'User break!' ; exit" 2 3 9 15

Signal 9 is SIGKILL, which can't be caught. bash seems to ignore thi

s,

but it causes total failure under ash (attempting to run external
programs fails).

Can you provide more details regarding the failures? You can get
debugging information by using "sh -x ...", i.e.

  GISBASE=/usr/local/grass5
  export GISBASE
  sh -

x /usr/local/grass5/etc/Init.sh /path/to/gisdbase/location/mapset

The reported bug turned out to appear only in rare cases:
When you start grass5 the first time with path to the
location/mapset.

After one session even this problems disappears and
everything is fine with winGRASS (XServer version).
