[GRASS-user] g.region error message

[Alessandro Bertan]

Dear grass users,

I am just compiled GRASS grass-6.4.0RC5 from source and I am
experiencing some trouble with g.region

g.region -p
ERROR: region for current mapset is invalid
       <north field missing>
       run "g.region"


I understand that this is bug that has been highlighted some months ago:

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/696

I am using grass on Ubuntu 9.10. How can I fix this problem? I have
seen that there is a .diff file the ubuntu package web site I have no
idea how to apply the patch to fix the problem. Any help or reference
would be greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance!

Alessandro
