Hi Hamish,
thank you for helping always and everybody in the way you do! Approvals!!!

d.legend or d.text don't print text. I get the same message:

WARNING: unable to open font map '/usr/lib/grass/fonts/.hmp': No such

I'll ask the superuser for answering the questions of compiling.

It is a moving target, so usually you'd build it yourself, e.g.
  http://hamish.bowman.googlepages.com/debiangisfiles#compile
or get debian build rules from DebianGIS svn and run auto-build tools.

you might ask on the DebianGIS mailing list for better advice:
  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis

GRASS 6.2.3 (in unstable now, soon to be in testing and etch-backports)
is fine for most work and is well tested.

Currently at backports.org for Debian/Etch is version 6.2.1

 Perhaps someone could clarify section 3.2 of the above book.  Let's assume I

 click the Georeferenced file button under Define new location.  The window
 which pops up asks for three inputs as the book states.  Seems simple
 enough, but after trying several variations I am still unable to get it to
 work.  Where do I unzip geod_pts_spm.zip before the new location is created?

You can unzip the file anywhere, even in /tmp/.

 Using the mync_spm example in the book and assuming the location of
 grassdata above, what do I enter for
  ** Name of new location

mync_spm

 ** Path to new location

/home/me/grassdata

 ** Path to georeference file?

/tmp/

The file is gdc.shp, so

/tmp/gdc.shp

 I believe when everything is complete I should have
 /home/me/grassdata/mync_spm and several folders below mync_spm, but just to
 be sure could you show me what the directory structure should look like
 after the location is created?

It will create a PERMANENT directory within
/home/me/grassdata/mync_spm/

and insert some files there.

Hope this helps

Hello Niels,

Sigfile is put in the path location/mapset/groups/nameof group/name
of subgroup/name of sig file  therefore I do not think that you can
specify a path (I doing this from memory, I don't have grass in front of
me).  Just put the name you want for your sigfile, and if you want to read
it follow the path inside your location folders.

[GRASS-user] SHELL variable not set

2008-01-28 Thread Martin Wegmann
Hello, 

unfortunately I added 'rm .* ' instead of a 'rm $variable.*' in a GRASS 
script, hence I had to setup a new user account but when starting grass63 as 
the new user I get:

sh-3.1$ grass63
Cleaning up temporary files.
Starting GRASS ...
GISDBASE='/data1/grassdb_africa';
LOCATION_NAME='HI';
MAPSET='nlm';
ERROR: The SHELL variable is not set

I never encountered it when installing Linux/GRASS for the first time, I 
searched a bit and found some GRASS shell scripts with this error message but 
I couldn't find a hint how to fix that. 

Is is a GRASS or Linux specific problem? Any idea which SHELL variable I have 
to set? And how to do so?

Martin

P.S.:using 6.3 cvs access hence pretty old and Debian testing GRASS version

[GRASS-user] Trouble using two screens






Hi folks,

I was looking at some work this evening using GRASS 6.3.  I use two 
monitors that run as a continuous unit so they act as one monitor. 
Once GRASS was running, I tried to shift a few GRASS windows out of 
the way and they seem to get stuck between then two monitors.  I can 
get most of the window onto my second monitor, but  I can't move it 
completely onto the second screen.  My other programs are working 
fine.  I recently upgraded to OS X 10.5.1 Leopard.  Could this have 
something to do with it?

Niels,

Just had this problem with my class. You already have awk if you  
installed msys. You just have to change the grass63.bat file to tell  
GRASS where it is. There are 2 lines rem'ed out that specify the  
mysys direction. Un-rem them (one has a typo with set set; change  
this to a single set) and make sure that the path they specify is  
correct.

Hello,


I have looked over a lot of documentation but am still having trouble
with this task. I hope somebody on the list can point me in the right
direction!

I have a table of land parcels as polygon features in a postGIS
database. I have another table of regions in the same postGIS  
database.

There are between 20 and 50 parcels to a region. I can access the data
without a problem (thanks to some helpful people!)

I want to create several maps that aggregate/summarize the parcel data
and display them as pie-charts and histograms at the centroid of each
region. For example:

1. HISTOGRAM of the size of all parcels in the region. The data for  
this

is stored in a single field for each parcel. I just need to understand
how to identify the field, send it to the histogram, and display it at
the centroid of the region layer.

2. PIE-CHART where each slice represents the total area owned by a
particular class of owner. This is more complicated. EACH parcel  
has an

area column for each of 7 classes of owners. So, I believe I need to
keep separate tallies and send them all to a pie-chart function--but I
am not sure how...

Finally, is the best way to actually KEEP all this data to add new
columns to the region table with SQL?


thank you in advance,
-david


Sounds like a job for d.vect.chart

if the master server is not in Italy then maybe the first message in

I have fixed the links on the server accordingly. It needs 1-2 days to propagate

The change is needed since grass.itc.it is now being switched to mirror
mode with http://grass.osgeo.org as new master site (where also binaries
are built and the programmers manual; it is also the new rsync master for tier-1
mirrors).

Sorry for no earlier announcement, we changed things in a sort of
emergency activity yesterday evening, and I cleaned up today.
The page
 http://grass.osgeo.org/gdp/manuals.php

is updated to the new/old location of the manual pages. Also other
relevant pages have been fixed. Please watch out for further broken links.

I'm not sure, but I think you have to set just the SHELL variable. Try 
to check in this way: 'echo $SHELL'. If you get nothing then you can set 
it to '/bin/bash' in the terminal you are using. If you want to set it 
permanently, try this: chsh -s /bin/bash. You can use BASH or whatever 
other shell you like.


I hope this helps,
