[GRASS-user] OSX Yosemite - GRASS 6.4 stopped working

[Carlos Grohmann]

Thanks Tom,

but I couldn't replicate your workaround. You mean the term window that
opens when GRASS is started "normally" (from dock or Application)?

If so, mine was a bit fast and I couldn't hit ctrl-C fast enough to stop it

in a normal term window, just pasting the line you provided also returned
me the same error as before (No such file or directory)


best

Carlos
