[GRASS-user] Problems to launch GRASS in OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)

[William Kyngesburye]

I see what's happening - when you use the QGIS Processing plugin, it creates a temporary DATABASE path to do its work.  GRASS.app remembers this, but since it's temporary within QGIS, it no longer exists for GRASS.app.

When you use GRASS.app by itself, you need to fill in the DATABASE also.  Alternately, drag the MAPSET folder onto GRASS.app to start GRASS, it will automatically open the mapset and fill in the correct LOCATION and DATABASE path.

[Marvin]  You think you have problems?  What are you supposed to do if you ARE a maniacally depressed robot?  No, don't try and answer, I'm 50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer...
