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

[Stefan Paulick]

Sorry Michael, 

the names were untouched since creation. 

Full accessibily is granted due to the fact that I am working as root on the 
system. 

Did you have a look at the faulty mapset? I wonder if the error can be 
transported. (www.urbeli.com/grass/grassuser_err.tar.gz) 


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kindest regards
