[GRASSLIST:1090] Vector and Sites Importation Errors

[Andy Callan]

I am exploring the capabilities of GRASS and trying to play around with some of our 
data but have been running into some errors and I could not find much info on the 
web about them so I would greatly appreciate any responses if these look familiar.  
I had no problems getting raster data in but vector and sites have proven more 
problematic.  Also the OpenOSX version of GRASS 5.0.2 I am using does not 
recognize any of the MapInfo import commands(eg v.in.mif and s.in.mif), were 
these added in a later release? TIA

 
While attempting to import DXF vector files (both binary and ASCII versions) I got 
the following error:

  CONVERSION OF /Users/andrewcallan/Desktop/Yilmav12ascii.dxf TO DIG FILE:  
      end of file while looking for HEADER

       (I looked at the ascii version and at the top of the file there is a "HEADER"      
heading, is this not the format grass needs?)


While attempting to display a sites file that appeared to import correctly from .dbf 
I got the following error:

  ERROR: G_site_new_struct: invalid # dims or fields
      can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): No such file or directory

While attempting to import an ERSI shapefile I got a similar error:

  can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): No such file or directory
