Fink installs an OS X Application: GRASS.app. Deep in the app I found a Makefile that seems to tell GRASS.app to respect "GRASS_LD_LIBRARY_PATH". The Macports version does not install an app, and does not respect the GRASS_LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. For some reason, shell-level LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH 's are also not respected (perhaps due to SIP?). > > I've switched from Fink to MacPorts because the Fink installation (on my system) has a GDAL issue and I cannot use 'r.external'. The MacPorts version allows me to use 'r.external', but I cannot use the temporal framework now, unless I edit out the line in the grass72 script. Can you please create a ticket for this? Then the developers reading the grass-dev mailing list will get notified instantly. thanks Markus > Thanks, > > -k. > _______________________________________________ > grass-user mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user -- Markus Neteler, PhD http://www.mundialis.de - free data with free software http://grass.osgeo.org http://courses.neteler.org/blog _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
