Thanks Markus and Hamish. Hamish: that's not fair! Is searched the mailing list for the error before posting but didn't get any results.
I also considered installing 6.3 from source. Decided to post first. I will upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy and try GRASS from the repo to see if it works (out of curiosity) then report back. Then I will install 6.3 from source. I tried the *.shp file before posting. Same error. Just tried exporting the terminal xterm (GRASS_TERMINAL=xterm). Same error. Well, time to backup and install Hardy. Thanks for the help. - Andrew Parker On Sun, 2008-04-27 at 10:43 +0200, Markus Neteler wrote: > On Sun, Apr 27, 2008 at 3:20 AM, Hamish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > After starting a new project using the "start new location with a > > > georeferenced file" option, I get an error when I click "Define > > > Location".
