[GRASSLIST:10796] Re: awk not found on Mac osx, Repost

It sounds like a path problem. That is, it sounds like /usr/bin is not in
your default path, or at least the one active within the GRASS environment.
>From the GRASS command line, type

$PATH

(followed by return) and see if /usr/bin is in the list of folders.

Subject: [GRASSLIST:10784] awk not found on Mac osx, Repost

I posted this some time ago.  Markus responded with a change which has been
incorporated into CVS code.

However, this hasn't helped things for me as I still am getting a problem
with "awk required"

I am using 6.1 CVS with Lorenzo's binaries (06 March 06 ) 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.  It is present in the Mac OSX installation at
   /usr/bin/awk

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
