[GRASS-dev] GRASS 7 crashes on startup on Mac

To clarify, I was ONLY installing wxPython 2.9 carbon for Python 2.6. Other than that, I have only wxPython 2.8 for Python 2.6.

On Mt. Lion, does this NOT work? If not, do I need wxPython 2.9 carbon for Python 2.7, wxPython 2.9 cocoa for Python 2.7 or will either of these 2 work?

Thanks
Michael

It's not quite possible to install both 2.9 carbon for Python 2.6 and 2.9 cocoa for Python 2.7 - while the python parts are separate, the C library parts of one will overwrite the other, and they are probably not compatible.

I have not seen the toolbox, but it may reuse the same code. If I knew what this new code is, I might be able to troubleshoot it. But I don't have time to try to reverse engineer it without guidance as to where to look. The error on importing wx is misleading as to what the real error is.

It might be related because from the errors in the log it seems that the virtual grass session is not there. If the problem is still there, please send me updated compilation log.
