Description
The dbf driver doesn't work if I work with GRASS vector. This a collect of mail on the arguments:
I can confirm the dbf problem in QGIS/GRASS. I am running QGIS 0.9.0 26.10.2007 build. My OS is Vista but I don't think it matters. I am also running WINGRASS 6.3RC3 and I got the same problem so something is broken in winGRASS now. See the error messages for more info. The messages are from the CLI from within QGIS
$ db.connect -p driver:dbf database:$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/ schema: group:
The connection set up looks fine to me, but if you try getting info in a specific layer:
$ v.db.connect map=dist2_net3 -c Invalid argument: can't _spawnl
GRASS_INFO_ERROR(260,1): Unable to start driver <dbf> GRASS_INFO_END(260,1)
If I try db.describe from winGRASS I get this:
db.describe -c table=dist2_net3 driver=dbf
{database=$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/}
invalid argument: can't _spawnl
Unable to start driver <dbf>

I think I left out that final bit in my last email.
Here it is. For 1.5, you will probably need to update the last bit somewhat, since I think all user tools are now in the "apps" subfolder.
Let me know how it's working for you.

Presumably solved in the latest versions of the installer. Reopen it if appropriate.
