Re: [GRASS-dev] GRASS 6 REALLY IS broken on Mac
More tests. If I delete .grassrc6 and start GRASS, it opens fine after asking for a GISDBASE location. But if I try to start it again, it errors out with the error below. I suspect there is something wrong with a configuration file path. It has been changed and the new file is not being created Michael On Jul 25, 2012, at 2:03 PM, Michael Barton wrote: Something installed another Python version without my knowledge.

Re: [GRASS-dev] GRASS 6 REALLY IS broken on Mac
I don't know if this is relevant, but it is weird. If you look at the error trace below, you'll see that the first group of lines references files in /Applications/GRASS/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS. This is the GRASS app and is correct. But the second group (after the line feeds I added), references files in my source directory. Then the last group (again after a couple line feeds) references the app again. Somehow, GRASS is not finding the directories lmgr and gui_core in the app and somehow looking for them in the source. This may (or may not) the the cause of this error.

Re: [GRASS-dev] GRASS 6 REALLY IS broken on Mac - bug identified
I figured out how to fix this problem, but it is a bug in the program somewhere that it happens. The line LANG: en_US.UTF-8 (or another LANG code) must be added manually to the .grassrc6 file. Selecting this in preferences has no effect of saving it anywhere, but GRASS 6 looks for this in the .grassrc6 file -- where it is not, unless you manually put it there. I've seen some discussion about new language settings go across the list but have not paid much attention. Perhaps something has changed making this setting necessary. However, it will break everyone's GRASS 6 installation (at least on the Mac) unless GRASS puts some kind of default into the .grassrc6 file--where it is looking for it--and allows users to update their language setting in this file. Note that I deleted the .grassrc6 file and let GRASS recreate it several times. It never added this now required language encoding line. In GRASS 7, this is put into the rc file inside the .grass7 directory. While GRASS 6 has a .grass6 directory, it is only for the wx configuration file. The language setting from preferences goes into this wx file, but apparently needs to be a GRASS variable set in the .grassrc6 file (and GRASS 7 rc file) too. This also explains a weird error I was getting yesterday installing GRASS onto a Spanish colleague's machine--which is set to Spanish language encoding. If this is a quick fix, it is needed ASAP. Otherwise, I can file an urgent bug report. Perhaps this is only a bug on the Mac, but it is rather serious. Michael _ C.

these two seem relevant: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/51822 https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/51831 but maybe there is another change which doesn't check for the 'lang = None' case?

Re: [GRASS-dev] GRASS 6 REALLY IS broken on Mac - bug identified
The problem is that without the LANG= line, the GUI errors out and won't run. Previously, it did not require this line to run.

Re: [GRASS-dev] GRASS 6 REALLY IS broken on Mac - bug identified
Yes. Even though this is working on my computer it is not working correctly on my spanish colleague's computer. He is getting ERROR: unknown locale: UTF-8. Then parts of the GUI don't work. Mainly, it will not open any of the autogenerated dialogs when called from the menus. These throw a error in GUI((parent = self).ParseCommand(cmd) and a raise gcmd.GException(e) in core.gcmd. This is real squirrelly. This was all working smoothly a short while ago.

It seems like it is only the GUI that is killed. right, if something new in the GUI wants it, then that something new should be able to deal with the case that it isn't there sometimes, and only write out the language choice if chosen. best, Hamish _ C.
