One more note, on the binary - there appears to be some problem with
opening shapefiles. Same as was discussed at the end of May, I'm
just catching up. But I've narrowed down a more specific case: when
the GRASS app that Qgis was build with is missing (or renamed), when
you try to add a shapefile Qgis crashes in QgsOgrProvider::loadFields().
It may apply to other builds (like Tom's all-in-one, when he finishes
it).
So, it kinda makes GRASS required for now...
I was talking with Gary off-list about it (he relayed the problem to
me). Here is what I sent him most recently (get this into list
discussion):
