[GRASS-dev] GRASS Book v.3 and making a new location

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi Devs,

A colleague of mine just noticed that the process for creating a new location 
from georeferenced file (GRASS startup GUI) does not match the text in the 
3rd edition of the GRASS Book.

Also, when trying to make a new location in this manner the following error is 
given:


can't set "fileOpt::dtnum": parent namespace doesn't exist
can't set "fileOpt::dtnum": parent namespace doesn't exist
    while executing
"set fileOpt::dtnum 0"
    (procedure "fileOpt::sel_dtrans" line 7)
    invoked from within
"fileOpt::sel_dtrans $dtrans"
    (procedure "fileOpt::create_loc" line 26)
    invoked from within
"fileOpt::create_loc"
    (procedure "fileOpt::def_loc" line 26)
    invoked from within
"fileOpt::def_loc"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel \#0 $cmd"
    (procedure "Button::_release" line 18)
    invoked from within
"Button::_release .fileloc.row3.submit"
    (command bound to event)
    
    
Note that this was done with no .grassrc6 file. It seems like the startup GUI 
is having problems identifying the GISDBASE path.

Any ideas on what may be causing this? I am using GRASS64-svn

thanks,

Dylan
