Great, the update table is definitely helpful.  Also, just to add, that 
when I had this problem, the members of this list and both of the 
authors of the book also responded with support.  I am starting to 
understand that one of the advantages of using GRASS is the community, 
and clearly the advantage of "A GRASS GIS Approach" is that the authors 
are involved members of this community, so that even though it is a 
printed book, it is still a
"living document" that will be supplemented with web-accessible 
material as the GRASS grows.   So, I just wanted to point out to the 
community that not every dealing with OpenOSX has been bad, and that in 
fact mine was rather good.
