So no more startup errors because those two are different, but it doesn't help if you want matplotlib or some other feature from a parallel system-wide install. Also it's unknown how .py associated system-wide by a generic python install will interact. fingers crossed. > and the d.mon Cairo lockup from wxGUI. It seems the G_spawn() in d.mon will need to be changed to a G_spawn_ex() + extra signal/pipe handling. It is both a bit beyond what I know well, and such a critical module that I would not risk to make changes to it in the releasebranch days before release. So hopefully can be fixed asap in devbr6 and backported for 6.4.4 after the 6.4.3 release. For now I have commented out the cairo driver from the wxGUI preferences page in relbr64, so the bug will not be triggered. > > #1428: still some missing some dlls > > We'll have to wait and see how many people complain about > missing msvcr80.dll and msvcr90.dll, and direct them to the > .NET Frameworks package.

I've got local standalone .exe versions of all the core unix powertools from back in the DJGPP days, they could be added into the wingrass package as an extra step if needed. They are a little bit old but because we stay compatible with the SUS for MacOSX they should all work even without the latest new features. > > #854: building addons on Mac Michael reports r.fuzzy building ok on 6.4.
