I am having trouble getting started with RIM and s.db.rim
I have edited the following file as a template for .make:
Foliation Orientation Data
Site Code: ~sSite_Code~~~~~~ Location: ~yNorth~~
~xEast~~~
Date surveyed: ~tSurvey_Date~~~~ Date entered:
~tEntry_Date~~~~~
Lithology: ~tLith1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Structure: ~tStruct1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Comment: ~tComment1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Orientation: ~fDip_Direction~ ~fDip~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have tried "making" the database with this form two ways:
using the
command line s.db.rim .make command, and typing it in - the
response is as
follows:
Form Definition Accepted.
Building the RIM database in directory
/home/cerberus/u/simon/grass/rob_scott/> simon/rim/sites
sh: Comment1: not found
Database is now 'made'.
The database fol has 0 records.
Note the problem with sh trying to interpret "Comment1".
.table gives
The number of rows reported below may have changed.
Database : fol read password : none
last mod : 10/01/92
Table : fieldnames modify password : none
Name type length format key
---------------- ---- ------------- ----------- ---
No columns
Database : fol read password : none
last mod : 10/01/92> Table : screenlayout modify
password : none
Name type length format key
---------------- ---- ------------- ----------- ---
No columns
Database : fol read password : none
last mod : 10/01/92
Table : data modify password : none
Name type length format key
---------------- ---- ------------- ----------- ---
No columns
Now I am worried - apparently this database has no structure.
Then, when I try to make an entry using .add I get
WARNING: Site number (1) duplicated one in the database, not
added.
I have also tried loading sites from a site list, from a file,
etc etc
and every time it claims that, although there are 0 records in
the
database, the new site numbers duplicate older ones ...
I have tried every way into s.db.rim that I can find, and the
symptoms
are always similar. Can anyone give me a quick diagnosis??? Is
there a
sample RIM/GRASS database to test out installation with??
Many thanks in advance.
