Grass 7 fails to start

Grass 7 fails to start

Lenjon 18 Apr 2014 16:49

I have installed all the frameworks before installing the Grass 7 beta and everything appears to to be fine. Howevere, when I try to run the app I get the following:

WELCOME TO GRASS 7.0.svn

1) Have at your side all available GRASS GIS tutorials

2) When working on your location, the following materials
are extremely useful:
- A topographic map of your area
- Current catalog of available computer maps

3) heck the GRASS GIS web pages for supporting mailing lists and more:
h ttp://grass.osgeo.org

Try the new uploads I did last week and let me know if they work.

I just had this same problem (and same error reports as above), installing the GRASS 7.0beta3 pkg from 11 Aug 2014 on OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

I eventually managed to solve it by editing my .bash profile. wikidot won't let me post a url, but google "ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8".

On restarting GRASS I was prompted to install JAVA 6 (and conveniently given a link to Apple's install page), after which GRASS successfully launched and seems to run happily.

Thanks, Michael, for providing this resource.

Are you on Yosemite? If so, on some computers (but not all) you must install Java 6 for some reason. Nothing in GRASS uses Java, but you have to install it any way. You may also need this for R, if you happen to use it. Another issue sometimes is that GRASS may not start if the terminal is not opened first. Again, this is intermittent. I've posted new binaries as of a few days ago. Make sure to update your GDAL before installing them. There may be a problem with the newest 6.4 svn version. It works on one of my computers but will not display maps on another one. Don't overwrite your current installation of GRASS 6.4 until you see if the new one works.

I just wanted to verify that I too had problems getting GRASS to start. I'm running OS X Yosemite Ver. 10.10.2. I downloaded and installed Java, and the problem was solved.

Which version? Downloaded when? I just posted new versions of GRASS 7.0 stable and 7.1 dev in the past 2 days.
