Hi, list<br>I installed GRASS 6.2.3 in about 14 computers with i368 architecture and Ubuntu 7.10 (Les-ejk repositorios). The only way to create a new Location is using QGIS.<br>Using GRASS the error explained by Matt occurs.
<br>żAny ideas?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Jan<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2008/1/11, Matt <<a href="mailto:mlpublic42@gmail.com">mlpublic42@gmail.com</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div>I am unable to create a new location/project in Grass. Since I am new to both Linux/Ubuntu and Grass there are a nearly infinite ways to go wrong. I have Ubuntu 7.10 installed. I used Synaptic to install Grass 6.2.2
. I have been able to start Grass and play with the Spearfish and North Carolina datasets. I've made it to page 37 in "Open Source GIS A Grass GIS Approach, 3rd ed." As interesting as North Carolina is, I yearn to create a map of western New York. But when I try to create a new project closer to home, I get nowhere. All the tutorials I've come across treat this as trivial, but I'm stuck!
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Starting Grass from the "Run Application" applet ("run in terminal" box checked), starts Grass in the terminal window and a Grass Startup GUI window appears. Using the Browse button I enter "/home/matt/grass/grassdata" in the GIS Data Directory box. The previous created directory map1 appears in the project location box and the Accessible Mapsets window is empty. At this point I've tried several things. If before starting Grass I put a Tiger shp file (
tgr36029lkA.shp) into map1, I'm unable to use it. If I click on EPSG codes and select 4326 and click "Define Location" it tells me to restart Grass to find the created location. When restarted the location is not there.

<div>Any ideas? Especially how to start a new project using a Tiger shape file? (Remember, novice).</div>

<div>Thanks, </div><span class="sg">
