GRASS 6.1.cvs (SaskNad83UTM) > which awk
/usr/bin/awk

This is the one present in the OSX system files.

With respect to fink, the only file on my system (Spotlight search for FINK=
)
is FinkCommander.pl.=A0 I haven't used it.

So, on a whim I opened the v.db.addcol script and commented out the portion
of the script which tests to see if AWK is present.

v.db.addcol=A0 =A0appears to work.

Emboldened by my apparent success, I did the same with d.qgis which is a
second instance where I got the Awk not present error message.=A0 This works
as well.

It seems that the problem is not whether AWK is present, but with the=A0 test
to see if AWK is present.

Any thoughts on the cause of this.=A0=A0

I'm hoping that the problem isn't too deep as commenting out code pretty
much taps out my programming skills.

Thanks

Dave

I didn&#8217;t write either one of these scripts, but I&#8217;m sending thi=
s to the GRASS Developer list so that those who did might be able to trouble=
shoot. 
 
In your case, the edits you did should cause no problems. 
 
It LOOKS like everything is fine with your system. You might try the time t=
ested formula of simply downloading Lorenzo&#8217;s binaries again (there is=
 a new set yesterday that you will need if you want to use the new version o=
f the GIS Manager with transparency I am testing and about to release). The =
new binaries from yesterday also have a new grass libraries file to install.=
