[GRASSLIST:1338] TR: LOCATION_NAME not set

[Pascal SIMON]

Had EXACTLY the same problem !
Just start GRASS with -text option ! You'll have the console mode in front
of you !
The command is:

grass5 -text

I found it after long hours of patience !!!
As beginner with grass, I'm looking forward to experience more than starting
the soft !
Best regards
Pascal
