s.surf.tps on Linux

GRASS GRASS user

So I tried s.surf.tps and I got the message:

warning: there are pionts outside of region - will ignore
warning: strip exists with insufficient data
warning: there are points outside specified region - ignored n (nearly all)
points
error: zero points in the given region

- Input data format: 4434015 5628645 #44000
- there are any #0 values
- the region is set to default

Two guesses:

1) The input data should be separated with | (vertical bars)
2) Set your region to the extent of the site list with g.region; default
will probably not the right region (check this with g.region -p)

It is also worth considering creating a MASK that covers the area where
you have points available plus a reasonable buffer distance.

Hope this helps,

This is a known bug in the Linux version of s.surf.tps. It has been
present for a while.
I have access to both SunOS and Linux versions of GRASS, and can get the
SunOS version to read the file, while the Linux version (On a 486) was
incapable, with oddly familiar error messages.

I'm afraid to say that you must either give up, use another machine, or
pull out the rubber gloves to reach deep inside the back of the code...
