[GRASS-user] GRASS 6.4.2 RC3 will not load on Windows 7

Dear all

GRASS 6.4.2 RC3, downloaded from OSGEO4W, does not load on Windows 7. When I double click on the icon, a black window opens and closes immediatly afterwards.

Best regards

F.

GRASS 6.4.2 RC3, downloaded from OSGEO4W, does not load on Windows 7.

there seems to be a path qoting issue in the start-bat-File.

can you change manually (wit a texteditor) the file

C:\OSGeo4W\bin\grass64.bat and give us a feedback?

the last line from

   "%GISBASE%"\etc\init.bat %*

into

   "%GISBASE%\etc\init.bat" %*

or

   %GISBASE%\etc\init.bat %*

very strange.

because here, on a WinVista32-box, osgeo4w-GRASS 6.4.2 RC3 is starting also
with the path-issue, but with some error messages:

hi

GRASS 6.4.2 RC3, downloaded from OSGEO4W, does not load on Windows 7.

now I had the chance to test also on my Win7-64-bit-box:

When I double click on the icon, a black window opens and closes
immediatly afterwards.

I can confirm that here on my Win7-64-bit-box.

but it's strange, on my WinVista-32-bit-box it is - although the message:
The system cannot find the indicated path. - working.

I can't find any obvious in the %PATH%

?

p.s. keep in mind, osgeo4w-GRASS 6.4.2 RC3 is starting in my
WinVista-32bit-box, but not in my Win7-64bit-box

you are right. I've found it.

see
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4/lib/init/init.bat#L29

%WINGISBASE% for wingrass was recently changed to %GISBASE%, but it wasn't
changed in
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4/lib/init/init.bat

if I change this manually in
C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-6.4.2RC3\etc\Init.bat

then osgeo4w-GRASS 6.4.2RC3 is starting again.

but I've seen that in the standalone wingrass-installer %WINGISBASE% is
still defined:

C:\Program Files (x86)\GRASS 6.4\etc\env.bat

line 1: set WINGISBASE=%GISBASE%

there seems to be some inconsistency between the wingrass-standalone
installer and osgeo4w-wingrass.

Hi,

2012/1/14 Helmut Kudrnovsky <hellik@web.de>:

see http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-commit/2012-January/021112.html

set WINGISBASE=%GISBASE% for starting in osgeo4w

I think it's better to eliminate this variable rather then introduce
it again. Why WINGISBASE is needed, it's just copy of GISBASE right?
It would be better to fix scripts which uses this variable, no?

Hi Martin,

it was quick look where the problem is to not start within osgeo4w.

+1 for elimination of the variable duplication.

after some investigation, it's seems to me that WINGISBASE has sense
in G6, see [1]. I am not sure about consequence when we eliminate this
variable (?)

may I suggest to leave the (redundant?) variable

if it can be eliminated for 6.4.3?

for testing I've changed all WINGISBASE to GISBASE in

Hi,

I just updated my osgeo4w installation and none of the GRASS versions
are starting using the menu shortcuts, not even GRASS 7 that used to
work until a few days ago.
