[GRASS-user] Still no WinGrass with MSYS console

[Daniel Victoria]

Hi listers,

It's been a while since I've strugling with WinGrass (daily SVN build)
on Win7 (64 bits). I am able to run the version with no terminal but
everytime I try to run Grass 6.4svn with MSYS console I get the first
screen, to choose location and mapset and then it just closes, with no
warning.
I tryed then opening a Msys console and manualy calling grass
(/grass/bin/grass64svn). The "Choose Location" dialog opens and, as
soon as I click "Start Grass", Grass closes, saying "Goodbye from
Grass GIS" and a bunch of python errors, shown bellow.

The only thing I could think of that is interfering is the Python
2.4.1 that is installed with ArcGIS but right now I can't remove it.
Any other hints?

Thanks and Cheers
Daniel - mising the ability to do quick shell loops for processing
several maps at once :)
