Thanks. All I have seen is .grassrc6 but that must have been from Lorenzo's build. To get a similar environment I just created a grass directory under /Users/ryan and then entered /Users/ryan/grass into the GIS Data Directory field. I no longer get the error I asked about.
<br><br>Another user recommended creating my own .grassrc6 file which has apparently worked for other users, but it seems that my way works as well (both methods are probably doing the same thing). I downloaded the Spearfish dataset and all appears good as new.

Right, .grass.bashrc is what I meant. Don't know if that's what Ryan<br>meant. It's not in the Mac build.<br><br><br>-----<br>William Kyngesburye <kyngchaos*at*kyngchaos*dot*com><br><a href="http://www.kyngchaos.com/">
