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

[Raymond Fu]

hi,
   
  I tried 
  GRASS 6.1.cvw(spearfish60):~ > eval 'g.gisenv'
  GISDBASE=/home/f1fuser
  LOCATION_NAME=spearfish60
  MAPSET=user1
  MONITOR=x1
  GRASS_GUI=tcltk
  GRASS 6.1.cvs (spearfish60):~>cd "$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET"
GRASS 6.1.cvs (spearfish60):// >ls dbf/
   
  nothing appears even the prompt "GRASS 6.1.cvs (spearfish60):// >" untill I click "Ctrl C".
   
  Anything wrong?
   
  Thanks in advance.
   
  Raymond

$MAPSET is empty, so "cd$MAPSET" is the same as "cd"
(shell variables vs. GRASS variables)

try:

eval `g.gisenv`
cd "$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET"
ls dbf/
