[GRASS-user] Issue with SVN GRASS build on Windows

Hi all,

Due to an earlier issue with i.landsat.toar, I upgraded to the most recent version of GRASS available (found here): http://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass64/. I was previously using the latest Stable build (here: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/). I am running Windows 7, 64 bit.

When I try to run certain functions, I get errors related to DLLs. For example, a Windows error pops up when I try to import or export a raster (r.in.gdal and r.out.gdal through the GUI). The import window will appear once I click OK to the error, and if I go to use the Import function again, I do not get the error again during that session.

However, the export function is not working at all. I get a couple of errors that pop up in Windows:

  1. The procedure entry point H5Eauto_is_V2 could not be loacted in the dynamic lik library hdf5dll.dll
  2. The procedure entry point GTIFFreeMemory could not be located in the dynamic link library gdal19.dll

In case this helps, I’ve pasted what appears in the Command Console when I simply try to open GRASS and use the GUI to navigate to Export Common Raster Formats at the end of the e-mail

Errors also appear in the black-background Command Window along the lines of this:ERROR 1: Can’t load requested DLL: C:\Python27\Lns\gdal_HDF5Image.dll
127: The specified procedure could not be found.

I tried to install an SVN build of GRASS 7 earlier in the week, and had similar error messages come up.

Should I just try to use the Stable version of GRASS for now? Or am I probably doing something incorrectly on the install?

I’m still new to GRASS, and I realize I might be better to run it on a Linux boot (or at least in a Virtual Machine?), but I won’t have time to learn more about that right now.

Thank you again for any help!
Best regards,
Mike
