[GRASS-user] problem setting region in 6.4 rc3

[Nick Cahill]

Hello,

I'm using William Kyngesburye's OSX binaries of Grass 6.4 rc3, and  
find it doesn't work with my existing mapsets. On displaying a vector  
map, it gives an error "Error setting region: child process exited  
abnormally." If I set or display the region with g.region or g.region - 
p, I get the error "region for current mapset <projection field  
missing> xx run "g.region" The mapset is UTM zone 35, and works fine  
in 6.3. I installed the newest GDAL framework (1.6.0-5). I had thought  
the projection information was in one or more of the files in the  
mapset PROJ_INFO, etc., which are (for one typical mapset):


DEFAULT_WIND:

proj:       1

I'm not sure why the default window sets it to one row and one column,  
but it works OK in 6.3. Any idea what's wrong here?

Many thanks,

Nick Cahill
