[winGRASS] Problem displaying raster data on Wingrass

[Mike Thomas]

Hi Ross.

Unless someone else can see an immediate solution to this, my suggestion is that you zip up the project along with exact details of the sequence of commands and arguments you used to arrive at the problem file "cape.img" and send to me so that I can try and reproduce the problem.

Cheers

Mike Thomas.

  Subject: [winGRASS] Problem displaying raster data on Wingrass


  I have recently installed the wingrass sytem (grass5.0.0pre3) on my machine which is running win2000. I have tried to follow all the installation instuctions bt not being familiar with the whole unix like setup I might have made some mistakes.
  Basically grass is working. I can create my own location and tcltkgrass is working. My problem comes when trying to create and display raster images. I had a 3 column ascii file that I managed to import into a sites list using s.in.ascii (I can disply the site data). I then tried to convert that into a raster image using s.to.rast and s.surf.rst. Both programs appear to work as they output a file. I then open a display window and try to display the raster file with d.rast. I get the following error:
    WARNING: Fail of initial read of compressed file [cape.img in user1]
    mail: not found
    WARNING: unable to open raster map [cape.img in user1]
    mail: not found
    ERROR: Not able to open cellfile for [cape.img]
    mail: not found
  I thought it might be a binary read problem that I have read about in the mail archive but I can display raster images from the spearfish data set. It is only raster data sets that I create that I cannot display. I have also tried to import a tiff image and to display it but I get the same problem. 
  Is anyone able to help?
