[GRASS-user] gis.m, d.m and nviz failing

[Michael Barton]

Henning,

These are symptomatic of some kind of larger issue going on with your GRASS
installation. The immediate cause of the error when you start the current
GIS Manager (gis.m) is that g.region is not reporting any region
information. But the ultimate cause is likely to be something else. In the
old GIS Manager (d.m) and nviz, it certainly looks like there is some kind
of issue in your gdal installation (perhaps not compiled with GRASS
support???). I would hazard a guess that some critical dependencies are not
installed or got installed incorrectly in spite of your efforts.
