[GRASS-user] gis.m: file ppm not found

[Patton, Eric]

I noticed this ppm problem after I had added a vector to gis.m, renamed the table in sqlite (for whatever reason), and attempted to redisplay the vector without updating the database connection. I think it can also reproduced by adding a vector to gis.m, then renaming the vector using g.rename, and refreshing the map display while leaving the old vector name in the gis.m table of contents.

Hi all,
I've found the same problem after compiling the January 6 snapshot in 
a ppc Mac with XCode provided by www.kyngchaos.com. In my case the 
same mapsets work with Grass6.2 and the latest 6.3 binary from the 
www.kyngchaos.com.
