About the frameworks, some utilities are not compiled in, such as
gdalbuildvrt, necessary to use the Build VTR plugin (to solve the

In the standalone Qgis, I didn't bundle any of the programs for the frameworks. Partly to keep the size down. Partly because you'd have to use long paths to the programs. And since there were problems with the GRASS plugin when GRASS is not installed, on Tiger, I stripped out the GRASS plugin.

Think of the standalone Qgis as a basic Qgis. If you need GRASS support or want to use tools from the frameworks, install the full Qgis + frameworks.

I've been thinking about restoring the all-frameworks installer, after the Snow leopard transition settles, that would make installing Qgis (and GRASS) easier. Possibly a GDAL bundle, leaving FreeType on its own.


Note: All the tools are in the GDAL framework (from installer). gdalbuiltvrt because available at 1.6.1, so make sure you have the latest GDAL.
