<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>It looks like your .grassrc6 file is pointing to an invalid location. In fact, your GISDBASE (GIS data folder) is pointed at your source file. Check in the .grassrc6 file and either change the GISDBASE and LOCATION settings to something valid or simply delete them so that GRASS will prompt you to select a new path.<BR>

This problem seems to be the same as the one described by Mortiz in the winGRASS mailing list, he says he committed a fix but I appears it didn't work for Mac os X.<BR>
