d.rast.edit error when attempting to edit a raster

Question

I always get an error when I try to edit cell values in a raster with the GrassGIS command „d.rast.edit“. The error under Windows XP/GrassGIS 6.4.3 says:

Does anyone have an idea about the reason why I'm getting this error and/or how to avoid it ?

Answer 1

I see that you used grass-6.4.3RC1, good (so no need to suggest to you to try it first).

Please report the bug here: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/
