R and GRASS (readVECT6 problem)

[Martin Maier-2]

Hi,

I am using the latest GRASS windows binary
(WinGRASS-6.4.0SVN-r39626-1-Setup.exe) on W2K. My R version is 2.9.2.
After starting R from within GRASS, loading the library(spgrass6) it is
not possible to use the readVECT6 command (with the South-Dakota
dataset) in R:

 > map <- readVECT6("bugsites")
Error in vInfo(vname) : Vector information not found

readRAST6() and gmeta6() both works fine.
Does anybody have the same error and can give a hint, why this error
occures?

Martin

The last time this was seen, it was a locale problem. I heard today something from that questioner, who asked on the more relevant statsgrass list. Try setting your locale to an English one. I'll try to release the package with a patch, although the original questioner did not report success (but that could be because he was unable to install a source package).

With R version 7.10.0 everything works fine with readVECT6() on my machine.
Thanks!
