Here we are: Weekly Binaries 6.4.0svn: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/binary/linux/snapshot/ Weekly Binaries 6.5.svn: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass65/binary/linux/snapshot/ Once I receive help from a community member for the CAIRO >= 1.5.8 on Fedora FC4 I can also set up weekly GRASS 7 binaries (the missing dependency breaks the cronjob).

Do you mean that installing grass6.4 will not contribute to solve memory-shortage problem? Probably not, I'm afraid. From your other mail I could see that there is quite a bit of memory on the Mac, but that runs out of memory too. Can't you increase swap space on the Mac or for Windows XP?

If I can prepare smaller shape file whose area is a part of whole area of lu2543s.shp, is there a possibility that I can avoid memory-shortage problem? Yes, but there is no need to prepare a smaller shape file, there are two different options for that in v.in.ogr, either -r or spatial=xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax, see manual.

Re: [GRASS-user] problem about import of shp file
Dear Mr. Markus Metz, So, I tried to use another PC (Grass6.2.2), created tmerc location, and tried to import the same shp file. Then, I received an error message saying that projections don't match! In this time, data set projection was reported as follows; Dataset PROJ_INFO is: name: Universe Transverse Mercator proj: utm datum: wgs84 a: 6378137.0 es: 0.006694379990141316 zone: 47 no_defs: defined The data supplier told me that the projection of this shp file is UTM. So, the message of new PC seems to be correct, and previous message may be wrong. Anyway, it is very confusing... This is confusing indeed. There should be a file called lu2543s.prj . This is a plain text file with the projection information for lu2543s.shp, you can open it with any text editor, see what's in there and create a location according to this information. If v.in.ogr still complains that projections don't match, you can use v.in.ogr -o, but something may be wrong with gdal and/or proj4. The contents of lu2543s.prj was as follows. PROJCS["WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_47N",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",50.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",99.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0.0],UNIT["Meter",1.0]] There are two projection information: PROJCS["WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_47N"and PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"]. I wonder correct projection is UTM47N, isn't it? Where can I get grass-6.5 and grass7? grass-6.5 and grass-7 are only available as source code via svn. If you are not familiar with compiling from source, this can be a bit tricky not to say it could cost you a day or more. Information on how to download source is here: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/DownloadSource There is a wiki page on how to compile and install: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install It is easier to install grass-6.4 binaries. Does grass-6.4 use smaller memory than grass 6.2.2? Not for breaking polygons. Do you mean that installing grass6.4 will not contribute to solve memory-shortage problem? But, I am not familiar with compiling from source...

Re: [GRASS-user] problem about import of shp file
Dear Mr. Markus Metz , Thank you very much for your quick reply! I misunderstood that tmerc is the same as UTM... I tried again following your advice, but I have additional questions... Could you kindly reply me, please? Projections don't match. The shapefile is in tmerc (Transverse Mercator), not utm (Universal Transverse Mercator). You should create a new location with the projection of the shapefile: Dataset PROJ_INFO is: name: Transverse Mercator proj: tmerc datum: wgs84 a: 6378137.0 es: 0.006694379990141317 lat_0: 0 lon_0: 99 k: 0.999600 x_0: 50 y_0: 0 no_defs: defined 3) v.in.ogr dsn=lu2543s.shp output=lu2543s -o Succeeded, but had an error message. Seems to failed to Import of area and isles...??? Looks like you ran out of memory? This message file "node.c", line 48> means that an attempt to allocate more memory failed. Consequently, cleaning failed, topology was not built and the imported vector is not usable. The solution would be to install more RAM or increase swap space. I created new tmerc location. worked, but I had same error message . You told me that this is because of shortage of RAM. So, I tried to use another PC (Grass6.2.2), created tmerc location, and tried to import the same shp file. Then, I received an error message saying that projections don't match!

So, the message of new PC seems to be correct, and previous message may be wrong. Anyway, it is very confusing... In addition, import of shp file was failed, too, probably because of shortage of RAM... It is strongly recommended to use grass-6.4 instead of grass-6.2.3 if possible. Can such confusing situation be resolved if I install grass-6.4? I forgot, it may help to close all other applications to get as much memory as possible. BTW, the procedure to break polygons should use about 20% less memory in grass65 than in grass64 and something between 20% and 40% less memory in grass7 than in grass64. In grass HP (http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/grassh/download/index.php), I can find only GRASS-6.4. Where can I get grass-6.5 and grass7? Now I use grass 6.2.2.
