<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I've posted new Mac binaries for all versions along with the frameworks I used to make these--to make sure that you all have the correct frameworks. <div><br></div><div>But there is a problem that could range from annoying to serious for users of these binaries--and maybe the set I just replaced. Recent changes to GRASS to make it easier to switch to different languages have in fact (ironically) made GRASS crash, especially for non-English users. </div><div><br></div><div>For english users, you just need to add the following line to your .grassrc6 file, located in your home folder.</div><div><br></div><div>LANG: en_US.UTF-8</div><div><br></div><div>But your .grassrc6 file is an INVISIBLE file on the Mac normally (i.e., it begins with a dot), making this something of a pain. You can use TextWrangler or another editor which reads invisible files to edit this file (I like pico from the terminal). Or you can make invisible files visible. I've posted a little AppleScript that will do this, named Invisibility Toggler. Each time you run it it will expose or hide your invisible files. </div><div><br></div><div>You may or may not need to add this same line to your rc file, inside the hidden .grass7 folder (it was already set OK in mine somehow). </div><div><br></div><div>For people with non-English systems this is more complicated. You do need to add the corresponding line to your .grassrc6 file. For spanish, this should be:</div><div><br></div><div>LANG: es_ES.UTF-8</div><div><br></div><div>But there is another problem in that it reads some system variables too. So you need to set LC_CTYPE and LC_ALL correctly to your language type. I still need to test this more, but here is what I *think* you need to do.</div><div><br></div><div>1. Test this. Start GRASS after editing your .grassrc6 file. It will open but give you errors complaining about UTF-8 and the menus won't work correctly. Quit the GUI (under the file menu) but DON'T exit GRASS from the terminal. From the terminal enter the following:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "> export </span>LC_CTYPE<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">=es_ES.UTF8</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "> export </span> LC_ALL<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">=</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">es_ES.UTF8<br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="monospace">**Note that here it is UTF8 and NOT UTF-8. </font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="monospace">Restart the GUI with the following command: g.gui wxpython</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="monospace"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="monospace">2.
