 Yes, file:///usr/share/doc/grass-doc/html/helptext.html#-selecting-the-
 gis-database-directory warns that
 directories must already exist before starting the program. However, that
 warning needs also to appear when the user first does
  $ grass
 At "Grass needs a directory..."

 It needs to tell the user to "Quit. Make the directory with mkdir, etc.
 And start again.

 (Since for some reason the program is unable to create directories.)
