Michael, I just downloaded the binary for wingrass. No compilation attempts in windows yet.
In the meantime I downloaded the latest source from svn (using tortoiseSVN), copied the wxpython folder to the gui folder, copied the wxgrass file to the scripts folder. I want to use msys so I can run scripts so I launch msys, cd to the bin directory of grass63 and type grass63 -wx. No good. Then I type wxgrass. Still no good. But I think the main problem is that the grass scripts can't find python. The $PATH variable in msys is /c/grass63RC4/grass-6.3.0RC4/lib:/c/grass63RC4/grass-6.3.0RC4/bin:/c/grass63 RC4/grass-6.3.0RC4/scripts:.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/Program: No such file or directory Which is a bit bizarre, but in particular contains no reference to python in it. The following is what happens when I do $ grass63 -wx Cleaning up temporary files..... Starting GRASS ... /c/grass63RC4/grass-6.3.0RC4/etc/Init.sh: python: command not found ERROR: Invalid return code from gis_set.tcl. Please advise GRASS developers of this error. I haven't yet figured out how msys gets its path value.

Jerry, The old readme is out of date with the move to the new SVN. the wxPython GUI is installed by default in GRASS 6.3 when you compile (unless you got a version for the few days prior to yesterday). Once you have Python (I'd recommend going with the current 2.5 rather than the legacy 2.4 version) and wxPython installed, all you *should* have to do is type wxgrass from the command line to launch the new GUI in Linux and Mac. From Windows, there is no command line, so you'll need to change your .grassrc6 file a bit. Change the line that says... GRASS_GUI: tcltk ...to read GRASS_GUI: wx ...and save the file. By default, the .grassrc6 file is in your Windows home directory (I think that's the directory where My Documents is found). Please let us know how it works for you.
