I have just compiled grass4.1 and am trying to run it i on the spearfish
sample data. When I hit ESC at the initial screen I get the following
errors:
   /home/jgrant/grass/sparc/etc/GIS.sh: g.gisenv: not found
/home/jgrant/grass/sparc/etc/GIS.sh: g.gisenv: not found
/home/jgrant/grass/sparc/etc/GIS.sh: GISDBASE: parameter null or not set
Can anyone provide some insight po on what I am doing wrong?
