<FONT FACE="Verdana">Hi GRASS users <BR>
<BR>
I have a problem. I am running off of MAC OS 10.2.4. Suddenly I can’t use grass any more. I get the following when I try to start up:<BR>
<BR>
[Kurt-Springss-Computer:~] kurtsprings% grass5<BR>
Starting GRASS ...<BR>
Error in startup script: can't read "env_locations": no such varialbe<BR>
while executing<BR>
"set location $env_location"<BR>
(procedure "searchGISRC" line 23)<BR>
invoke from within<BR>
"searchGISRC $gisrc_name"<BR>
(file "/usr/local/grass5/tcltkgrass/script/gis_set.tcl" line 1)<BR>
ERROR: LOCATION_NAME not set<BR>
/usr/local/grass5/ect/Init.sh: GISBASE: parameter null or not set<BR>

I have been having problems with crashes all weekend and was wondering if a UNIX system file in OS X might have been corrupted. <BR>
<BR>
The first time I started out, it started fine until I tried to create a new location. The error above, or something like it was the result. Now, this is all that I can get. I if some one knows a simple solution, I am all ears. Otherwise, I was going to take drastic action and reinstall OS X, wipe out the hard disk, and start over.<BR>
<BR>
If I don’t have to do this, I will be very happy.<BR>
<BR>
I am for bed now. I hope someone can give me good news before I start in the morning.<BR>
<BR>
Sincerely<BR>
<BR>
