[Qgis-user] OSX - QGIS not loading Grass plugin

[William Kyngesburye]

QGIS needs a very specific version of GRASS.  For my QGIS 1.8 you need GRASS 6.4.2, NOT the recent 6.4.3.  You also need GDAL 1.9, NOT 1.10.  Finally, you can move or rename GRASS.

[Trillian]  What are you supposed to do WITH a maniacally depressed robot?

[Marvin]  You think you have problems?  What are you supposed to do if you ARE a maniacally depressed robot?  No, don't try and answer, I'm 50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer...
