I'll take a look at this when I get back in town. At least this gives me
some idea how to test for this error.

Correct. Anyhow, I am just pointing out to a problem in
slaxGIS's GRASS63RC6.

I just compiled fresh grass63svn and no problems appear
with respect to these scripts.

works the way I want. Thanks again.

yesterday I added this change to make it even more catchy:
  http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/31010

It looks to see if the parts array was created. (the wording could still
be much improved... perhaps to "Check the g.region module" ?)


should that get an "exit" or "return" added after the error message?
or should it be thrown to the command line?

I had a weird problem with it when I tested it. I renamed bin/g.region
and created a new g.region with just the shebang & "exit 1" in it.

The splash startup historical map came up with the output window but then
froze. The splash map was stuck there until I went into the window
manager's (fluxbox) window list and selected "maximize" for the "Error"
window. Then I could see it (full screen) and hit [Ok] and get rid of the
splash screen and leave gis.m.  I wrote this off as a fluxbox thing, but
maybe it needs to release the splash before it can make a new error
message popup box?

yes, just repeat the elevation twice:


GRASS> r.colors elevation.dem color=rules
Enter rules, "end" when done, "help" if you need it.
Data range is 1066 to 1840
 1000 blue

AFAIK, this is due to g.region failing. It ought to be possible to
detect that g.region failed before you start trying to parse the
output.

And even if you can't detect the abnormal termination, you could
detect that the output is bogus.

Of course, that won't make everything work, but you could produce a
more useful error message.

[GRASS-user] Some modules don't work dut to incorrect permissions in slaxGIS!

2008-04-16 Thread Nikos Alexandris
(not sure whether I should direct this message in slaxGIS authors or in
the community).

slaxGIS is just amazing (current slaxGIS version: 080402):
http://geomatica.como.polimi.it/software/slaxGIS/index.php.

It's a pity that QGIS is not included (any more?).


Example of modules thath don't work due to permission error(s):

v.external
g.mlist


I don't think that I caused this incorrect permission problem. Can
somebody confirm this?

Hos anybody created a live-iso out of this (slaxGIS with custon datasets

This is a GDAL error.

We've tried to trap this and provide better feedback, but if GDAL is
broken/misinstalled/etc., this hits before any error trapping can be
