[GRASS-windows] Re: GRASS 6.4.0 in Windows XP

[Thierry_]

I have the same problem. I installed GRASS 6.4.0-1 from the installer on the
website. A full install in "d:/GRASS" on a Win XP machine with both demo
datasets.

GRASS starts up fine and give me the welcome screen. I can select one of the
demo projects or create a new project. But when I click on Start GRASS then
I get an error: "execution failed: g.proj - p"

The sh window then displays the error below.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:/GRASS/etc/wxpython/wxgui.py", line 1834, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "d:/GRASS/etc/wxpython/wxgui.py", line 1827, in main
    app = GMApp(workspaceFile)
  File "d:/GRASS/etc/wxpython/wxgui.py", line 1752, in __init__
    wx.App.__init__(self, False)

    p = gcmd.Command(['g.proj', '-p'])
  File "D:\GRASS\etc\wxpython\gui_modules\gcmd.py", line 369, in __init__
    _("Error: ") + self.GetError()))
gui_modules.gcmd.CmdError

Any suggestions?

The strange thing is that the same installer gave a working GRASS version on
my laptop (Win XP Pro).

Best regards,

Thierry
