[GRASSLIST:1617] GRASS Cygwin Binary Installation problems.

Hello,

I've been trying to get GRASS to work on my NT boxes (NT4.0-sp6 and 2k-sp1).
I can start GRASS, but it keeps dropping out with the following error:

ERROR:
       ERROR: program 'g.gisenv' cannot be executed because:

       Neither a command line (cmd) or interactive (inter) version was found
/usr/local/grass5/etc/Init.sh: GISDBASE: parameter not set


I've downloaded all the neccassary files from Cygwin including the XFree86
drivers (current as of 3/15), and I'm using ReflectionX (similar to XWin32)
for my X Server. I've downloaded and installed the IPC binary
files(v1.09-2). Then I've installed the GRASS binaries (20010312). I can run
'StartGrass' successfully, it's starts up another window and then I can
enter 'grass5' into the new window. Grass starts up, and I enter the
LOCATION, MAPSET, and DATABASE. I've downloaded the Seeds Tutorial Set from
the grass website, and follow the tutorial. Then when I hit [ESC][ENTER],
GRASS coughs out with the error above.

I get the same error on both win nt 4.0 and win 2000.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Howard Tan
