[Qgis-user] Problem with GRASS plugin on MacOsX

[William Kyngesburye]

If GRASS vectors work, then I'd say yes ;)

Possibly the cairo framework is the problem - v1.8.8-2 uses UnixImageIO 1.2, but GRASS uses 1.1 (installing UIIO 1.2 probably won't help).  I haven't rebuilt GRASS to use all the new versions yet (I thought rc6 was imminent, yet again, and I'm holding on rebuilding).  If you're not using MapServer, then cairo only affects GRASS and you should install v1.8.8-1 from my download archives.  Sorry for the mess.
