Any special reason why you want to use the cygwin version ? The native windows versions have become pretty good by now. At Moritz's suggestion I have downloaded ncurses - indeed, the full Utils package - from Cygwin. And the two error messages, of which I was complaining, have disappeared. MORITZ IS A GENIUS But, gis.m still does not work. It looks as though the default Cygwin download, which is not a full download, is not enough. I was hoping to use Cygwin because most of the online tutorials assume a Unix environment. Some of the tutorials are themselves tar.gz files. And Marcus's book is quite expensive. I don't want to buy the book unless the Cygwin/Grass combination works. So I have started using the native Windows version of Grass, at first with the Spearfish60 data. And I have made some progress. But 'd.vect roads' does not change what I see on the screen. It creates a file called 'map.png'. Sorry to keep asking for help, but how do I display the 'roads' map in a window?
