<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>Actually I didn't add other binaries in current WinGRASS package, but your source package, as *built* according to my building guide, did not include expat and gsl sources, while the WinGRASS package (and MSYS env) include them, just because they are needed for QGIS compilation and I don't have enough time and *machines* to create different build environments for both GRASS and QGIS.</FONT></DIV>
