</tt><br>
<tt>Markus,<br>
</tt><br>
<tt>this is the same problem here - the problem is with python2.4 that is used as default<br>
</tt><tt>and that does not include ctypes so you need to make symlink in grass to make sure<br>
</tt><tt>it looks for python2.6 (which I have also installed) or there may be some other solution -<br>
</tt><tt>You cannot remove python2.4 because it is used for system management.<br>
</tt><tt>I did not have time to get it fully resolved yet.<br>
</tt><br>
<tt>The problem should go away with the next release of RHEL which is in beta and<br>
</tt><tt>should use python 2.6 (I think),<br>
