Dear List Members

I am very new to Grass and am having a few problems getting started.  I’m 
running it on Windows 7 Enterprise, 64 bit.


1)      I’ve tried the version 6.4.3 installed with QGIS.

a)      In the Python GUI, when I try to add a vector or raster layer 
(Spearfish data, Quickstart tutorial), I don’t get a drop-down list.  It adds 
an empty file with the message “Unable to fetch interface description for 
command ‘d.vect’/'d.rast'”.

b)      When I try to import a shapefile of my own, it does import it, but I 
can only see the attribute table, not the map.  (I did remember to zoom to it 
and check the colour visibility).    The message is “Command ‘d.vect 
map=UK_outline@eldp’ failed”.

2)      I installed 
WinGRASS-6.4.3-1-Setup.exe<http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/WinGRASS-6.4.3-1-Setup.exe>
 and accepted the Microsoft Runtime libraries option.  The Python GUI flickers 
in the toolbar and then crashes.  Fortunately the old TclTK GUI works.

So I have got a version which works but I’d really appreciate some suggestions 
on how I can get the attractive Python GUI up and running.

Many thanks.
