<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Hello Brad:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">From your
description I gather that you have QGIS installed with the OSGeo4W
installer. And on the same machine you also have a separate GRASS
installation. And you're saying that you can start GRASS on its
own with the GISDBASE, LOCATION and MAPSET all setup. Is that
correct?? But when you try to run GRASS modules from within QGIS
you're getting an error that the GISDBASE is not set?<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">Now, when you start
QIS, is the GRASS plugin loading? If so, can you click the "New
Mapset" button and then, where it says "Database:" click "Browse"
and choose the directory of your GRASS database to be identical to
the above directory you setup from GRASS. Then select the LOCATION
and MAPSET as above.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">If the GRASS
database has not been set at all, then use the same procedure from
within QGIS to choose a directory, then continue with the QGIS
wizard, set up a LOCATION and MAPSET. Note that you must be the
*owner* of the directory for the GRASS database.</p>

</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">HTH,</p>

<div>Grassbook chapter 11 says: "Programming: <br>

<li>Since the variable $LOCATION no longer exists, every GRASS
shell script must have at beginning:

<p><tt>eval `g.gisenv`</tt> <br>

<li>Gmakefiles contain a DEP line now (needed to support
optional GRASS shared libraries) <br>
</li>
<li>GISDBASE isn't meant to be an "environment variable", it's
a setting in $GISRC. Although most of the GRASS
documentation is totally confused on this issue, as was some
of the code as well (mostly, code written in Bourne shell,
Tcl or PERL; code written in C used G_getenv(), which got it
right). </li>
</ul>

<div>If I can start grass from any of the interfaces. And I can
see my configuration is set in each of those interfaces. Why
does grass plugin (qgis) not detect that same getenv?</div>
