Thanks a lot Paul. I'll try this installing MinGW or Msys, as I thought it
wasn't necessary with the native win version.
I'll keep you posted.GRASS is quite usable on Windows without MinGW/Msys: they aren't a
requirement for running the bulk of GRASS modules which are written in C,
nor for the startup or GUI (gis.m) which are written in Tcl - but a few
modules are written in Bourne shell script and will not run without a
bourne shell interpreter, which is not available on Windows. Unfortunately
you've managed come across two such modules...
This is why to install msys. It has a bash interpreter and allows running of all scripts EXCEPT those that require an x-windows monitor. These include all d.* (unless they are run with special environmental variables set so that they render to a file instead of the none-existent xmon.)
