[GRASSLIST:2412] Re: "Invalid resource file" error

[Robert Najlis]

I am running GRASS on OSX I have GRASS in the Applications directory, so
it is /Applications/GRASS

I don't use /opt or anything like that, Spearfish is in the GRASS
directory, so it looks like this:  /Applications/GRASS/spearfish

My set up in GRASS is this:

LOCATION:   spearfish_____             (enter list for a list of
locations)
MAPSET:     PERMANENT_____             (or mapsets within a location)

DATABASE:   /Applications/GRASS_______________________________


hope this helps.
