[GRASS-dev] GRASS, ArcGIS, and Python incompatibilties

[Helena Mitasova]

Michael,

check whether any of these two items under Troubleshooting for MS Windows applies:
http://courses.ncsu.edu/mea582/common/GIS_anal_assign/GIS_Anal_Aintro.html
(it may be the dll issue - that is what some of my students had to do last semester).
Otherwise, we had 50 students running GRASS along ArcGIS on their own laptops
successfully, for which I am enormously grateful to all who have contributed to WinGRASS 
installer success.

We're pretty sure that it has to do with the version of Python he had to install with ArcGIS. The ArcGIS Python is 2.6, but GRASS for Windows comes with Python 2.7. Is there some configuration setting to get around this?
