Hi!

Thanks for the quick reply. I need it cause we try to
explore GRASS with
a couple of friends and we got stuck on that(!)

First of all:

>grass
Cleaning up temporary files.....
Starting GRASS ...
ERROR: MAPSET PERMANENT - permission denied

Then any other attempt to create a LOCATION ends-up with
exiting GRASS
saying to re-log and find the newly created LOCATION...
which is not
there of course.

I try to edit manually .grassrc6 but still no luck with the
LOCATION
creation.




-
Thanks.
