[GRASS-dev] d.vect.thematic problem

[William Kyngesburye]

d.vect.thematic works for me.  If I change that awk check to  
something that doesn't exist, I get the expected 'awk required'  
error.  No syntax error.

And, awk itself from the GRASS Terminal works for me.  What's your  
PATH in GRASS at the time you want to run d.vect.thematic?  Even  
without the user adding anything to the PATH in their bash startup, / 
usr/bin should be in their PATH.

All generalizations are dangerous, even this one.
