[GRASS-user] OSX Yosemite - GRASS 6.4 stopped working

[Thomas Adams]

Carlos,

I have seen the same thing; here is what I figured-out as a brute force
work-around:

(1) in the TERM window that pops-up do Control-C
(2) copy and paste:
/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/GRASS.scptContents/MacOS/grass.sh
(or the GRASS 7 equivalent)
(3) <RETURN>

This works every time I get this + it seems to temporarily 'fix' the
problem...

Cheers!

Tom
