I suspect that this upgrade somehow breaks my QGIS installation. I tried several times that downgrading python-core from 2.7.4-2 to 2.7.2-4 makes it possible to at least start QGIS while subsequent upgrade makes QGIS fail to start. It simply disappears after a splash screen saying something like "Starting Python...". I tried to isolate an issue as I have way too many python installations. Here is how I tried to start QGIS (other than in a usual way) ,----[ qgis.bat ] | @echo off | | SET OSGEO4W_ROOT=C:\OSGeo4W | SET PYTHONHOME=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Python27 | SET PATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Python27\Scripts;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin | rem ;%PATH% | echo %PATH% | "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%"\apps\qgis\bin\qgis.exe %* `---- So it says only "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python27\Scripts;C:\OSGeo4W\bin" in reply. Note that QGIS starts (with a reasonable amount of complaints) with python-core 2.7.4-2 if I comment out everywhere PYTHONHOME so it is nil. P.S. I'm running Windows XP 32 bit with SP3 -- Mikhail _______________________________________________ osgeo4w-dev mailing list osgeo4w-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/osgeo4w-dev
