With respect to fink, the only file on my system (Spotlight search for FINK=
) is FinkCommander.pl.=A0 I haven't used it.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
v.db.addcol=A0 =A0appears to work.<BR>
<BR>
Emboldened by my apparent success, I did the same with d.qgis which is a se=
cond instance where I got the Awk not present error message.=A0 This works as =
well.<BR>
<BR>
It seems that the problem is not whether AWK is present, but with the=A0 test=
to see if AWK is present.<BR>
<BR>
Any thoughts on the cause of this.=A0=A0<BR>
<BR>
I'm hoping that the problem isn't too deep as commenting out code pretty mu=
ch taps out my programming skills.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>

>
<BR>
I posted this some time ago.=A0 Markus responded with a change which ha=
s been incorporated into CVS code.<BR>
<BR>
However, this hasn't helped things for me as I still am getting a pro=
blem with "awk required"<BR>
<BR>
I am using 6.1 CVS with Lorenzo's binaries (06 March 06 ) on a macint=
osh OS 10.4.=A0=A0<BR>
<BR>
When I try to add a database column I get:<BR>
<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE=3D"Courier, Courier New">v.db.addcol map=3DCondieHead l=
ayer=3D1 'columns=3DElev varchar(10)'<BR>
csh: /sw/bin/init.csh: No such file or directory.<BR>
: awk required, please install awk/gawk first<BR>
<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"> <BR>
This suggests awk is absent.=A0 When I invoke awk from the grass comman=
d line, I get:<BR>
<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE=3D"Courier, Courier New">GRASS 6.1.cvs (SaskNad83UTM)=
> awk<BR>
Usage: awk [-f programfile | 'program'] [-Ffieldsep] [-v var=3Dvalue] [=
files]<BR>
<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"> <BR>
This suggests that awk is present as it lists=A0 the help line.<BR>
<BR>
I have not installed awk/gawk.=A0 It is present in the Mac OSX installa=
tion at =A0 =A0/usr/bin/awk<BR>
<BR>
Are there some environmental or other settings I need to set so that =
Grass sees awk?<BR>
<BR>
This also happens when opening a QGIS connection from the display man=
ager.<BR>

Thanks<BR>
