[Qgis-user] Sextante tool box problems

[Victor Olaya]

No, you do not need SAGA to run GRASS. You just need it to load the
model that uses SAGA (it is included as an example in SEXTANTE, but
you can ignore it)

If you go to the SEXTANTE configuration dialog, you will see a "GRASS"
entry, and there is an option to enable console output logging. Enable
it, run your GRASS command again...and hopefully you will have
information about what is happening

Regards

Victor
