Hallo,

first: excuse please my english.. it isn't very good, I don't need it
very often.

second: I have tryed your cygwin distribution of GRASS 5.7 and on
cygwin. I don't know, if you have discussed it somewhere, but I can't
get it running.

I'm using cygwin at MS Windows XP - Home edition. GRASS 5.0.x runs
without problem. The installation of GRASS 5.7 is apparantly without
problem. Then I try to run it and I get some error window (not from
Xfree, but from Windows os), whitch says something like

    "Point of entry of __getreent procedure could not be found in dynamic
     library cygwin1.dll"

and in xterm-window under Xfree i get:
        " $ grass57
      Unable to properly access /home/jachym/.gislock57
      Please notify system personel.
      $
    "

I also tryed to compile GRASS by my self, but I couldn't come over
./configure procedure, though I didn't search to much around, because
usually, I'm using Slackware ;o)

Thank You for anny help/link to it.

Regards

Jáchym

I am copying your email to the Grass developer's list.

At what point did you receive the "Point of entry of __getreent ..." error? When you started "Grass57" or later on? What is your cygwin1.dll version? (In windows explorer, go to /cygwin/bin and right click on cygwin1.dll, then select the version tab)

Can you delete ~/.gislock57 ? What file system are you using NTFS or FAT?

Thank you for sharing your problems. It is an important step toward making Grass 5.7 usable on Cygwin.
