[GRASS-dev] GRASS 6 REALLY IS broken on Mac - bug identified

[Michael Barton]

Yes. Even though this is working on my computer it is not working correctly on my spanish colleague's computer. He is getting "ERROR: unknown locale: UTF-8".

Then parts of the GUI don't work. Mainly, it will not open any of the autogenerated dialogs when called from the menus. These throw a error in "GUI((parent = self).ParseCommand(cmd) and a raise gcmd.GException(e) in core.gcmd.

This is real squirrelly. This was all working smoothly a short while ago.
