[GRASS-user] Another error with wxpython GUI in RC6 - repeatable

[geep999]

Hi Martin, Glynn & everybody,

To repeat the problem consistently:
-there is an error if there is no directory called PERMANENT
in a directory below the directory where grass63 -wxpython is run

-creating a directory anything/PERMANENT prevents the problem
i.e. run grass63 -wxpython in $HOME starts OK when directory 
$HOME/anything/PERMANENT exists

Cheers, Peter
