I added an extra warning in r48072 to tcl/tk startup screen [1] as it seems to not be possible to get GRASS running on Windows if user name contains non-latin letters. I strongly suggest to add extra error checking and implement a similar error message in wxgui startup screen too and close #995 as CANTFIX MS-WINDOWS BROKEN BY DESIGN [2].
Maris. PS. I would like to see r44890 in 6.4.2, as it has been doing just fine in 6.5 and waiting in backport queue for long time (8 months). 1. http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/48072 2. http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2011-March/053874.html 2011/8/31 Markus Metz <[email protected]>: > Hi all, > > the list of blocker and critical tickets for 6.4.2 is reassuringly short: > > #995 WxGUI startup screen fails if GISDBASE path contains non-latin > characters > --> needs testing with current svn > > > Markus M _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
