Subject: [GRASS-user] Problem with Python GUI Grass 6

 

Dear List Members

 

I am very new to Grass and am having a few problems getting started.  I’m running it on Windows 7 Enterprise, 64 bit.

 

1)      I’ve tried the version 6.4.3 installed with QGIS.  

a)      In the Python GUI, when I try to add a vector or raster layer (Spearfish data, Quickstart tutorial), I don’t get a drop-down list.  It adds an empty file with the message “Unable to fetch interface description for command ‘d.vect’/'d.rast'”.

b)      When I try to import a shapefile of my own, it does import it, but I can only see the attribute table, not the map.  (I did remember to zoom to it and check the colour visibility).    The message is “Command ‘d.vect map=UK_outline at eldp’ failed”.

2)      I installed  <http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/WinGRASS-6.4.3-1-Setup.exe> WinGRASS-6.4.3-1-Setup.exe and accepted the Microsoft Runtime libraries option.  The Python GUI flickers in the toolbar and then crashes.  Fortunately the old TclTK GUI works.

 

So I have got a version which works but I’d really appreciate some suggestions on how I can get the attractive Python GUI up and running.

 

Many thanks.
