GRASS fails to start - wrong libgeos version

[petrasovaa]

When you open grass in text mode and run g.version, I get:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/geos/lib/libgeos-3.6.1.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/grass7/7.2.0/grass-7.2.0/bin/g.version
Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6

there is no libgeos-3.6.1:

ls /usr/local/opt/geos/lib/
libgeos-3.6.2.dylib	libgeos.dylib		libgeos_c.a		python2.7
libgeos.a		libgeos_c.1.dylib	libgeos_c.dylib

This is fresh installation of OS Sierra and homebrew

Try reinstalling grass7 so that it links against the recently updated geos (now v3.6.2)

[petrasovaa]

Sorry I am not familiar with using homebrew that much, how do I do that? brew options grass7 doesn't give me geos as option.

[pat-s]

brew reinstall grass7

[petrasovaa]

Well, I tried that, but it's still the same problem, nothing has changed in this repository.

[pat-s]

try brew unlink geos && brew link geos && brew reinstall grass7 && brew unlink grass7 && brew link grass7

[petrasovaa]

still the same problem...

[pat-s]

do you still have 3.6.1 besides 3.6.2 in /usr/local/Cellar/geos?

I had a similar problem after the recent geos update but cant exactly remember what I did to solve it.

Instead of brew reinstall, please try also brew remove grass7 && brew install grass7 && brew link grass7 after having removed any instance of geos 3.6.1

[petrasovaa]

Still the same. Thanks for working with me on this. I don't have 3.6.1 anywhere, that's what's weird about this.

you start grass in text mode via grass72 -text?

Is the GUI startup grass72 working?

[petrasovaa]

You might need to set the homebrew python first:

export GRASS_PYTHON=python2.7

and then run

grass72

You have to create a new location to actually test it

1. create somewhere a directory grassdata and browse to it (the top entry field)
2. press New to create new Location, Next, then select _Create a generic Cartesian coordinate system`, Next, Finish, No, OK and finally then Start GRASS session.
3. now it crashes

This is not just a HomeBrew issue. I have the same problem when trying to build and run GRASS from the terminal just using dependencies in Anaconda instead of /usr... or /Library/Frameworks.

I worry that there are hardwire links to standard Linux (and perhaps Mac Frameworks) locations of things that prevent GRASS from finding libraries, headers, etc in other places.

It doesn't seem to want to link Anaconda libraries as needed. And if I try to start GRASS that has built successfully in an environment without initial paths to Frameworks or /usr... I get an error message telling me I must use a Framework build of Python.

So perhaps this needs to go on the GRASS bug list instead of here.

I realized it installs GRASS from a bottle. So when I use --build-from-source, I am getting errors, basically what is reported in #239. Looking at the log, this error is repeated:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/jpeg/lib/libjpeg.8.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/gdal2/lib/libgdal.20.dylib
  Reason: image not found
make[3]: *** [i.landsat.toar.tmp.html] Error 1

I have only /usr/local/opt/jpeg/lib/libjpeg.9.dylib on my system.
So the gdal2 bottle is outdated? I tried to recompile gdal2 formula, but I get this problem: #252

So now I am stuck, please advise.

[petrasovaa]

This is fixed by 524a5f7, which updates gdal2 formula, now grass can be built from source.

[cmbarton]

Is this a GRASS or Homebrew update? Michael

Homebrew update, this problem was just because of outdated bottles.

[cmbarton]

Too bad. I was hoping it might help for Anaconda since I'm getting identical errors. Michael Barton
