[GRASS-dev] GRASS 7 TGIS crashing Windows

I was happy to see that the new TGIS modules are getting nearer to release with the GRASS 7 version I compiled on the Mac last night. They are giving me some messages about sqlite databases on startup, however.

Unfortunately, for today’s Windows GRASS 7 snapshot, it sort of looks like TGIS may be doing something to prevent GRASS from launching. See the screenshot below.

Any thoughts on this?

Yes, the same thing happens. Here’s a screen shot:

Question 1, does this happen if you enter the demo location?

Hi Dr. Barton,

I’m one of the bioarchs in your Spatial Technologies class and I have a quick question. I just installed the newest daily version of GRASS 7 for Windows, so it uninstalled my previous version of GRASS 7. But, there’s a problem. When I try to launch one of my locations I get this message: ImportError: No module named dateutil. Is there a quick way to fix this or do I need to install a different version?

Thanks,
Emily

TGRASS requires the python-dateutil package to be installed.
See

https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk/REQUIREMENTS.html
python-dateutil (for time stamp parsing in the temporal GIS framework)
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/

There was a request of it for OSGeo4W:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/263
--> "already part of the matplotlib package."

hope this helps,
Markus

Thanks Markus,

This needs to go into the Windows binary package then I guess.

In the meantime, should I recommend that the student install matplotlib?

Michael

Maybe Emily could try? I have no Window installation available.
