I'm having some recent trouble getting Grass to start on Windows XP.<br><br>when i try to start Grass i get the following message:<br>"error setting region (Problem with g.region): child killed:unknown signal"<br>
<br>and then a message box with lots of errors starting with<br>"cant read "parts(w)": no such variable <br>...<br>...<br>"<br><br>I've tried and failed with:<br> - creating a new grass database directory without spaces in the path (the default is in My Documents but it used to work before);<br>
- unistalling and re-installing Grass<br>- found some reference to gis_mlock in the archives but did not understand a word of it...<br><br>Other info:<br>- I have Grass 6.3.0<br>- Used to work until about a week ago<br>- Only difference since then is that i've installed QGIS , also postgis shaepefile loader (not sure if that would cause the trouble, perhaps a different gdal version or something??).<br>
<br>It would be nice to fix this so that I can use Grass commands from QGIS..<br><br>Any tips?<br>Thanks,<br>Vishal<br><br><br>-- <br>Vishal K. Mehta, PhD<br>Scientist<br>Stockholm Environment Institute - US<br>133 D St Suite F<br>
