It looks like there is something wrong with the GRASS plug-ins for 1.9.90 :

@2012-02-22T14:15:53 Failed to load C:/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis-dev/plugins/grassplugin.dll (Reason: Cannot load library C:/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis-dev/plugins/grassplugin.dll: The specified module could not be found.) 0

At the same time:

The same error on Linux (built from source):

@2012-02-22T21:42:35 Failed to load /usr/local/lib/qgis/plugins/libgrassplugin.so (Reason: Cannot load library /usr/local/lib/qgis/plugins/libgrassplugin.so: (libgrassprovider.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) 0

Here comes the directory listing:

/usr/local/lib/qgis/plugins/libgrassprovider.so

Two independant problems:

1. On Linux: Add your GRASS library path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf
2. On Windows you've apparently hit: "OSGeo4W # 269":http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/269

• resolution was changed from to invalid
• status_id was changed from Open to Closed

On Linux that's it.
But I am not sure about Windows case. Just upon start-up qgis and qgis-dev has identical PATH variables exept '@C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis\bin;@' / '@C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis-dev\bin;@'. GRASS plugin work fine from 1.7.4. but was not able to start in 1.9.90.

PATH just befor calling
start "Quantum GIS" /B "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%"\apps\qgis-dev\bin\qgis.exe %*
(split in rows for clarity)

The latest build has solved the isue – OSGeo4W Quantum GIS 1.9.90-72 works as expected :)
