Subject: installing grass on mac os x
Platform: Mac OS X
Xwindows version: Xfree 4.0.x
grass downloaded at: Baylor site
grass binary for platform: Mac OS X binaries
I can't get past first base! I downloaded all the binaries and merged
them with cat. When I try to use the grass5install.sh script, it gives me
an error using gunzip (invalid compressed data--format violated).
I downloaded all the files twice, once with a browser and the second
time with FTP in I (binary) mode. Both times yielded the same results.
What am I doing wrong?

Beta 11 is obsolete. Mac OS X is somewhat experimental as well. |

I don't think that this bug/error (if it has been an error of grass) is still
prevalent. Please complain again if the error is still there.
