[GRASS-user] r.stream.* addons issue

[Ralf Schäfer]

Dear all

I can confirm that g.extension now works for me on a mac (10.8.5) in the default path. Tried r.stream.order and r.stream.distance and both were successfully installed.
Makes things much easier, great!
Nice weekend
Ralf

Try running g.extension in the GRASS Terminal, not from the GUI.  Works fine for me in the default GRASS_ADDON_PATH prefix (not global).

Global installation on OS X should be the /Library/GRASS addons folder, but I don't think there is a default behavior in g.extension for that yet.  You woud have to manually specify the prefix and make sure you are logged in as an administrator user (both the -s and -u flags force the prefix to be the GRASS app).

I used to type a command starting with 'chmod' to make that plain text file a Unix executable file. It worked in the past for several addons.
