Subject: downloading and installing GRASS 5 for Mac OS-X
Platform: Mac OS-X
grass downloaded at: Baylor site
grass binary for platform: Mac OS X binaries
I downloaded all the pieces of GRASS 5 for Mac OS X. I then cat'ed the
pieces into a tar.gz file as per the installation instructions. I had to find
the installation shell program from another locale (the Linux binaries ftp
site) because it was not in the Mac OS X site.
When I ran the install program according to instructions, it reported an
incorrect file size when trying to unzip the cat'ed binary file. I have tried
downloading in a couple different ways (web browser, ftp program) and
from 2 different locales on the Baylor site. I also tried to unzip the tar.gz
file using a different unzipper (i.e., stuffit). In all cases I received a
similar error message.
Are all the pieces of the binary on the Baylor site? Is it possible that one
piece is corrupted? The shell install program suggests that it is
universal. Is it OK to use the copy from the Linux site or do I need a Mac
OS X (i.e., BSD) version?
Any help would be appreciated

I downloaded the sh install program from the European Mac OS X site
and tried to install GRASS 5 for OS X again. There is the result copied
from my termal window. I had logged in as root and confirmed that
these directories indeed do exist. I hope this helps to resolve this
problem.

Sorry for the delay.
It is important to use the "grass5install.sh" which comes along with
the binaries since platform dependent information are stored in this
script. so it is impossible to use grass5install.sh from Linux for
MacOSX installation.
My suggestion is to wait a few days - GRASS 5.0.0pre2 binaries should be
available then.
Kind regards

Markus,
Thanks very much for getting back to me. After writing to you, I did find
and download the OS-X installation shell script from one of the European
sites (it is not on the US binaries site for OS-X). I had the same result,
though with different error messages. It appears that one or more of the
existing binaries may be corrupt.
I am looking forward to seeing the new binaries. Is there any chance of
providing it in a single tar.gz file, as well as split into the 20 smaller
files?
This my first foray into GRASS, although I have worked quite a bit with GIS
on other platforms--MapInfo, ESRI, and IDRISI. I want to evaluate the
possibility of porting a good deal of my spatial analysis (archaeological
research) to GRASS now that I have an OS-X platform to work from.
Any idea when the new binaries will be ready? Thanks again.
Sincerely,
----------

Hi. I was just wondering if there was any word when the new GRASS
binaries for Mac OS X will be posted. Thanks.
