Hi Becky, The installation manual:
ftp://88.208.250.116/gvSIG_OADE_Installation.pdf has some details about setting up the software on the Mac. See section "4": If you have ticked the "GRASS GIS" option in the installer, then the folder you need to specify is within the App folder of gvSIG OADE 2010 on your Mac: "Contents/Resources/grass". If you are using a Mac, you should definitely read through the Mac specific section of the PDF manual above and also the Mac section on the support page here: http://www.oadigital.net/software/gvsigoade/gvsigbugs This version of gvSIG has been developed to run on Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Intel hardware. Anything older than that will probably require some extra fiddling to make it work. Best, Ben ----- Original Message ----- > I've now downloaded gvSIG OADE 2010.
