[GRASS-dev] SESSION_MANAGER environment variable not defined

[Andy Wickert]

Hi Markus and Moritz and all,

Moritz -- Unity.

Markus --
Starting GRASS GIS...
_IceTransOpen: Unable to Parse address 1
12:20:02 AM: Debug: Failed to connect to session manager: Could not open
network socket

So the blank "NetworkManager" in Unity is definitely the culprit in my mind.

Andy
