[GRASS-user] 'ARNing: Cannot open driver 'dbf"

[Raymond Fu]

hi,
  actually, it is sample from spearfish60.
  when I type 
  GRASS 6.1.cvs(spearfish60):~>g.gisenv
  it display:
  GISDBASE=/home/xxx
  LOCATION_NAME=spearfish60
  MAPSET=user1
  MONITOR=x1
  GRASS_GUI=tcltk
  GRASS 6.1.cvs(spearfish60):~>cd$MAPSET
  GRASS 6.1.cvs(spearfish60):~>  
   
  it change back to current directory.
   
  do I need to set something before running the command?
   
  Thank a lot.
   
  Raymond

Does the database exist on the disk?

g.gisenv
cd $MAPSET
ls dbf/

?
