Currently when you start QGIS compiled with GRASS (in my case 6.4 on fedora), you get a pop up at the start of QGIS asking you if you want to set GISBASE. No matter what I set there I can’t get it to recognise my GRASS. That is probably just me being dumb, but my problem is more about the popup itself - it blocks QGIS from starting which ruins e.g. tests which need to run headless and I think it isn’t a great user experience as there is no help to tell you how to locate GISBASE. What about using a QgsMessageBar or some other non-blocking technique for alerting the user to the fact that their GISBASE is not found, and providing some help on what the appropriate setting should be?<br class=""></blockquote><br class="">OK, I have disabled the warning dialog and I'll add GISBASE select to<br class="">options.
