[GRASSLIST:9692] awk not found, mac osx

[Dave Kent]

Happy new year all.

I am using 6.1 CVS with Lorenzo's binaries (17 Dec.) on a macintosh  
OS 10.4.

When I try to add a database column I get:

v.db.addcol map=CondieHead layer=1 'columns=Elev varchar(10)'
csh: /sw/bin/init.csh: No such file or directory.
: awk required, please install awk/gawk first


This suggests awk is absent.  When I invoke awk from the grass  
command line, I get:

GRASS 6.1.cvs (SaskNad83UTM) > awk
Usage: awk [-f programfile | 'program'] [-Ffieldsep] [-v var=value]  
[files]


This suggests that awk is present as it lists  the help line.

I have not installed awk/gawk.  Any present would be the OSX  
installation.

Are there some environmental or other settings I need to set so that  
Grass sees awk?

This also happens when opening a QGIS connection from the display  
manager.

Thanks

Dave
