Dear list,

in my win7 installation, r.profile is not working in Grass 6.4.3 in
GUI nor in CLI

The problem is related to missing libfreetype-6.dll

I solved copying libfreetype-6.dll in Grass lib directory; see this

Hi devs, I don't understand why libfreetype is required for r.profile. It
is required for all modules or is r.profile in G6 doing something I don't
know about?

r.profile offers
  -i Interactively select End-Points

which requires the DISPLAY lib which in turn wants the libfreetype...
(IMHO - I used "ldd").

So it is a secondary dependency.
