[GRASS-user] windows native version does not start

[Jonathan Aguero]

Paul, 
This has been discussed recently in the wingrass list. The problem is
related to the selection of the shell for running wingrass in the init file.
If you had cygwin before, some environmental variables my still exist in
your PC that make the init script to select the bash shell instead of the
bourne shell (sh) that is used by MinGW/Msys.
See the wingrass list for more details.

Please run

g.region -p

to see the error. New gis.m versions now show it directly,
as Paul said.
