The ordinal 32 could not be located in the dynamic link library proj.dll

[rezagrass]

I have successfully installed the GRASS 6.4.2 on my Windows XP SP3.

I have already a python24 installed. On the 'Welcome to GRASS' box at the start up, every time I press 'Start Grass' button, an error message pops up reading: "The ordinal 32 could not be located in the dynamic link library proj.dll"

Would you please advise on a solution. It is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Reza

This error sounds similar to:

Q: Error message "The ordinal 63 could not be located in the dynamic link libexpat.dll."

Perhaps a similar solution applies here?

Thanks for the reference to the grasswiki page, where I found the suggestion. I tried the same and it worked.

While I have kept a back up of the old .dll files in my system32 directory, I am not sure whether or not the updated dll files may affect other programs already using them!

Thanks and regards, Reza

Glad you solved it. I have extended the Wiki page accordingly: ​http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_errors

Closing as invalid since no action item for the GRASS GIS package but duplicated DLLs at user side.

Same here with libeay32.dll

German message: Die Ordnungszahl 4540 wurde in der DLL "libeay32.dll" nicht gefunden.

Renaming system32/libeay32.dll (v-0.9.8.8) to libeay-o.dll and copy GRASS-GIS/extralib/libeay32.dll (v-1.0.1.3) to system32/libeay32.dll works.

But I don't know if other programms are compatible with libeay32.dll (v-1.0.1.3).

Wouldn't it be better to force GRASS-GIS to run with its own DLLs?
