<DIV>Dear Eva, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>thanks a lot.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It seems I have installed Grass 6.1 cvs and also the 6.0 (geni/ath/cx seems to be working again!). </DIV>
<DIV>I even managed to start up Grass 6.1 ( and also the 6.0). But in both situations I am getting the following messages:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Warning: Invalid Database</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>Warning: Invalid database. Finding first valid directory in parent tree. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After OKing the warning message and trying the browse button (both versions) to set the directory where I have saved already the "spearfish57" (.../database/) I am getting the following message, no matter what:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Application error</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>Error: couldn't change working directory to "./database": no such file or directory. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(!?) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Could you (or maybe some other user ) still help? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you very much once again in advance for your attention and patience...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
