Thanks again,

I'll rebuild a brand new msys environment, with the following sequece:

01) Flex and Bison
02) Paul Kelly's precompiled grass-extralibs, including:

- zlib.1.2.3
- libpng-1.2.16-noconfig
- xdr-4.0-mingw2
- freetype-2.3.4
- fftw-2.1.5
- PDCurses-3.1
- proj-4.5.0
- gdal-1.4.1

03) GEOS
04) SQLite
05) GSL
06) Expat
07) PostgreSQL
08) GDAL Level One
09) Tcl/Tk
10) GRASS (with postgresql, sqlite and tcl/tk support enabled)
11) GDAL Level Two

Best Regards,

MP

They aren't.

Neitjer PostgreSQL nor SQLite are needed for a basic version of
QGIS+GRASS. All other libraries are needed by either GRASS or GDAL
or both to be installed first.

If you want support for SQLite and PostgreSQL and GRASS, you need
to have them installed first, as well.
