[GRASS-user] Grass 6.4.2 on Ubuntu 11.10

2012-02-27 Thread Paul Shapley
Hi, I'm having some trouble installing the latest stable Grass 6.4.2 on Ubuntu. I've un-installed 6.4.1 but if i use the 'apt-get install Grass' command it re-installs 6.4.1. I think i may be missing something. -- Paul J. Shapley ___ grass-user

[GRASS-user] GUI command works, but not the command copied in the CLI

Hello It's strange... I can run a command from the WxPython GUI, but if I try running exactly the same command in the command console (through a copy/paste), it fails. The command is r.in.arc (also found in the menu File/Import raster.../ESRI ASCII grid import). The only way to make the command

Hello, next time, please, provide exact command You where trying to run (copy/paste). Just a guess - it could be a quoting problem. Try to quote the path i.e. 'C:\blah\blah' or C:\blah\blah or escape backslash with another backslash c:\\blah\\blah. As I have no idea about the origin of this

Thanks very much for your input, Maris. Unfortunately it didn't make the think work. Here's the command: r.in.arc input=G:\Data\GIS projects\GRASSdata\Emmental\PERMANENT\srtm.txt output=srtm11 (you can also see it in the printscreen of email 1) This command is a direct copy/paste from the GUI,

Have you tried Maris' suggestion and put quotes around the value of the input= option? The command that you copied below has a space in the path leading to srtm.txt. If you do not quote this, command line parsing _will_ break. This seems to be the cause of your troubles. To make things easier,

Ah-Ha...!!! It works!!! I tried the ' and and // suggest by Maris, but none worked. However, the space in the path was the problem. So thanks a lot to both of you, Maris and Ben!!! It's a sunray in my day!!! PuffDany -- View this message in context:

[GRASS-user] Warning message for paths with space(s)?

Would it be a good idea for GRASS to issue a warning on start-up, if the user attempts to start a session in a mapset that has a space in its path? Ben -- Benjamin Ducke {*} Geospatial Consultant {*} GIS Developer benducke AT fastmail.fm On Mon, Feb 27, 2012, at 05:16, PuffDany wrote:

Definitely! For example, I was kind of aware that spaces in paths can create problems, but since the GUI seems to deal with these spaces I was confused and forgot about the issue. -- View this message in context:

That'll work. You just need the file name at the end of the command. The lon-lat coords should be in a text file, one on a line, separated by a space. Check against some known conversions just to be sure. For instance, you can check with Ruby Dome coords at the wikipedia page.
