[GRASS-dev] wingrass on VISSTA and XP with two pythons

[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]

the problem is that GRASS is picking up the python25 that is installed by
ArcGIS which lives on the same computer. Updating this ArcGIS python
install did not solve the problem, the dll is still missing the object
needed by GRASS. Checking env shows
PYTHONHOME=C:\GRASS-6-SVN\Python25
PYTHONPATH=C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\bin

it was not there, so I set it as you suggested below (I think GRASS6
should be GRASS below), but it still gives the same error - probably for
reasons explained by Jurgen. I am not sure we can move it somewhere else
because
that may cause problems with ArcGIS.

I would hate to go back to the old TclTk but I may need to if we cannot
get both GRASS and ArcGIS live peacefully on the same machine.
Also in the latest release TclTk file browser mysteriously lists
the files first as
._elevation
._slope
and then right after that
elevation
slope
has anybody seen anything like that?
