Thanks William,

I am using the version of Python that ships with Mac OS X. I believe  
it is the only version of wxpython and Python installed on my system.

Seems like it is working right, the GUI works (which requires wxpython).

I looked at the instructions a bit better, and noticed that they  
recommend to use the "--enable-monolithic" flag on Mac OS X which  
creates the libraries that you are accustomed to.

But after making sure the old libs were deleted and rebuilding GRASS I  
still get the same exact errors.

:(

I only have one copy of Python installed on this machine - the version  
that ships with Mac OS X. Would I set it to that?
