[winGRASS] Summary: Failure to read compressed file....

[Anantha Prasad]

ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Hi Grassers:
I read Mike Thomas reply to an earlier query about the same problem....but
his solution of naming the DataBase as cygdrive does NOT seem to work in
this case. My DataBase directory is /usr/local/grassdb - so the problem
that Mike mentioned does not exist here.

GRASS:/c/cflux > r.out.arc in=ew20km out=- > out.grd
WARNING: Fail of initial read of compressed file [ew20km in prasad]
WARNING: unable to open raster map [ew20km in prasad]

Nothing is written to out.grd  --- the same problem exists with r.out.ascii
Any help would be appreciated. I use the latest wingrass version on Win2k.
THanks.
Prasad

SOLUTION:
Thanks so much to Mike Thomas who took the time to scrutinize this problem.
I tried to reinstall grass without success. However, based on Mike's cue, I
reinstalled Cygwin (from setup) making sure that "Install For all users"
and "Unix File Type" were checked. This seemed to do the trick. THis along
with Mike's earlier tip about the database directory should clear up this
problem for good.
