Hi Markus M.,
I forgot to mention that I'm using win7 and it's a Portuguese instalation...
I installed the Grass SVN version (tried bothe r42668 and r42681) and
I get the same problem in both. That is, when I try to launch
Grass64svn with MSYS console, after passing the select location
window, the MSys console just closes. Opening a separate MSys console
and executing /grass/bin/grass64svn will start the Select location
window and after I click on Start, Grass crashes with the following
error:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ grass64svn
Cleaning up temporary files ...

I just installed WinGrass 6.4.0RC6
Get rid of 6.4.0RC6, it's known not to work well on Windows, use the
latest Wingrass instead, available from here:
http://josef.fsv.cvut.cz/wingrass/grass64/
and I can get the Grass wxpython
gui to work OK. The thing is that I also want to use the command line
for some bash loops and R integration. So I have one question and one
problem. Let's go for the problem first.
1) Problem: If it click on the Grass with MSYS icon the screen
prompting for the location and mapset will show up but, when I select
the location and click OK, Grass shuts down. Opening a msys windows
and calling grass64 gives the following error:
Should be solved with a new installer, to make sure you could delete
any .grasswx6 file found on your system first.
2) Question: Can I integrate Wingrass and R? How do I run R from the
grass command line? Should I use MSYS? because I can't get the windows
command line functioning after I start wxpython gui.
On Windows, the easiest way is calling grass from R with initGRASS
from the R package spgrass6. After GRASS has been initialized for R,
you have access to grass commands from within R. For an example, see
http://geomorphometry.org/content/geomorphometry-r-saga-ilwis-grass
Go down to the part of the script with the grass example, adjust
loc <- initGRASS("C:/GRASS", home=tempdir())
as appropriate for your system.
Good luck,
Markus
