[GRASSLIST:5154] Hail grass gurus!

[Kingsley G. Morse Jr.]

Hail grass gurus!

I'm looking forward to checking out grass. It
seems pretty sophisticated.

I
    installed 4.99+5.0.0pre4, 
    
    downloaded the global sample data set, 
    
    unzipped and untarred it,

    ran "grass5 -tcltk" and 
    
    try to open the data set by pointing and clicking.

I get

    Starting GRASS ...
    The selected location is not a valid GRASS location

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Kingsley
