Subject: Installation issue: PG.DLL not found

Platform: WindowsNT/2000/XP
grass obtained from: Mirror of Trento site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries

Installed the latest binaries available last Friday. Grass 57 dialogs fire PG.DLL not found and don’t work.

I guess PG.DLL is related to PostGIS or PostGreSQL, as indicated in an replay in the winGRASS mailing list, or it is the PostGRASS Driver, as mentioned in the POSTGIS site.

My PostGreSQL didn’t contain a PG.DLL.

The binary install page should list all dependencies (like to the one related to PG.DLL).

And of course: where to get this? (the link to the PostGRASS Driver mentioned in PostGIS site is invalid).

make sure the xfree86-lib-compat cygwin package is installed if you are
using the cygwin supplied X.org X-Windows.

And of course: where to get this? (the link to the PostGRASS Driver

It is built against the Cygwin package, and is tuned to work with that
source of the package. (see below)

The binary install page should list all dependencies (like to the one
related to PG.DLL).

It's there:

I just made some minor updates in CVS to make this a bit clearer.
