[GRASS-user] installation of grass 7 unknown-linux binaries

[José Anderson]

Thanks Hamish,

think that binaries were not available yet when I reached the
repository first time.

Well, anyways, it looks like no GUI is present. The following error
raises, since (and I checked) no /usr/lib/grass70/etc/gui directory
was created.
...
python: can't open file
'/usr/lib/grass70/etc/gui/wxpython/gis_set.py': [Errno 2] No such file
or directory
...

Nevertheless, I feel it is getting close...
