[GRASS-user] Grass-7.0 beta3 fails to launch

Dear List

I am using Grass-7.0 beta3 installed via osgeo4w 32bit installer on Windows 8 64 bit. I have also installed Grass-7.0 beta3 via the windows installer and have the same problem.

I get the error below and not sure what is happening:

Launching GUI in the background, please wait…
/usr/bin/bash.exe: Command not found
Cleaning up temporary files…
Done.

Goodbye from GRASS GIS

Hello, I looked to the source code and I think that there are two problems.
One is that GRASS is using some unreliable method of determining if it is
running as Cygwin application or native one. OSGeo4W and stadalone are both
MS Windows native applications but in your case GRASS thinks that it is
Cygwin one.

The other problem is what caused GRASS to think this. It seems to me you
have CYGWIN variable in your environment. If you remove this variable,
GRASS should start. But note that I don't know why you have CYGWIN in your
environment (it might be needed by some other application).

See more details in the ticket I've created:

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2395

Thanks for trying OSGeo4W, standalone and 6.4 versions,
Vaclav

Cleaning up temporary files...
Done.

Can you please test a improved check for Cygwin? I would need to replace etc\grass70.py file in your GRASS installation by the file attached to this email.

Here is a example of path to that file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\GRASS GIS 7.0.0beta3\etc\grass70.py

(attachments)

grass.py (47.3 KB)

···

You will probably need administrator rights to do it.

You can write the result directly to the ticket I created (you need OSGeo ID for it):

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2395

For the record, I have used

if sys.platform == ‘cygwin’:

instead of

if os.getenv(‘CYGWIN’):

on the line 900.
