[winGRASS] the " libgrass_gis.dll was not found !" problem

[Koukoulas Sotiris]

It appeared as soon as I started the graphical interface of grass with
d.m (ps.map). I couldn't get to the main menu. I attach my first
message:

************************************************************************
**
I have recently installed Grass 5.7 for Windows and I get an error
message as the Display Manager starts:

<ps.map - Unable to locate component

This application has failed to start because libgrass_gis.dll was not
found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.>
 
In the xterm I get the following:

GRASS 5.7.0:~ > Error in startup script: child process exited abnormally
while executing
"exec ps.map -p"     (procedure "DmPrint::init" line 14)     invoked
from within
"DmPrint::init"     (procedure "main" line 27)     invoked from within
"main $argc $argv"
    (file
"/usr/local/grass5.7.0-i686-pc-cygwin-24_06_2004/etc/dm/d.m.tcl" line
773)

Hi,

Could you explain how you got the error?

Which interface are you using?
1. commandline
2. d.m
3. tcltkgrass

Which command did you run and got the error?
1. ps.map
2. everything doesn't work

Please check your library dependency of whatever command you run:

cygcheck /usr/local/grass.../bin/ps.map

Then it should print libraries that it requires. Try this in and outside
grass.

Thanks.
Huidae Cho
