Comment:

No problems here, can you give some more detail on the steps leading up to
the error? Which GUI were you trying to load? Was this a new location,
what coordinate system?

a quick test on a very old Win XP-box:

by defining a new location with the wx-gui the same error comes up. I
can't test this on my WinVista.

I have the same problem. I installed WinGRASS-6.4.0svn-r39740-2-Setup.exe
on Windows XP professional. I start C:\GRASS\grass64.bat -wxpython and
choose the spearfish database and start GRASS. Then I get the message
Execution failed g.proj.exe -p . There is python 2.4 and 2.5 installed.

does it work using the old tcltk GUI?
can you run 'g.proj -p' from the GRASS+MSys command line prompt?

> There is python 2.4 and 2.5 installed.

anyone else see this problem? if so, do you also have multiple pythons
installed? which ones? (be as precise as possible please)

So what is wrong with my setting?
Maybe previous versions haven't been deinstalled correctly?

ok, so not a python problem at all, as tcl and the command line do not use
python.

it would be better if you could just type out and translate error messages
for us, especially if it is just one sentence. cheers

looking at the screenshot I see someing about a missing function in
libtiff.dll?? That would indicate that it was built for one version of
libtiff but is finding another, older one.

Did you have the same problem with the last installer? (Colin, you are
building on XP, while Helmut is building on Vista, right?)

I build on vista, I think we both do. (I test on xp-64 as well). I think
libtiff was updated in osgeo4w recently... perhaps there is a problem
there. But no issue on my system.

I have installed the standalone GRASS and the full OSGEO4W package.
Could it be that they conflict?

The GRASS version from OSGEO4W is quite outdated.
The problem is that GRASS support for QGIS is only provided within the
OSGEO distribution.

Yesterday I tried the 64 and 65 installer from above mentioned site.
None worked.

The error given on the MSYS CLI:

{{{

Note that the vector digitizer is currently not working under MS Windows

lly this will be fixed soon). Please keep an eye out for updated versions

I suppose that there is still a conflict with the Python installation at:

can you run "g.proj -p" from the GRASS> terminal command line when
starting GRASS in text mode, without any GUI? what error do you get? if
you run "echo $?" directly after it dies what does that say?

Hello,
what can I do to help debugging this?

I does not work neither with wxPython nor with TCLTK.

All report that there is either a problem with g.region or g.proj.
