Comment(by cmbarton):

 I'm pretty sure that this is a version mismatch problem. This is likely to
 be more of an issue with 6.5, in which both the digitizer and 3D
 visualizer are built with swig than in 7, where we switched to ctypes.

 The GUI is built with Python 2.5 and will run on 2.6. There are reports
 that it will not run on 2.7 without errors.

 If you have installed a 3rd party Python (e.g., Macpython), it is likely
 that you will run into trouble. Just removing the frameworks directory is
 not enough, as the actual files are in /usr or /usr/local (I don't
 remember which version ends up where) and there are path statements to
 remove in several places. Also, wxPython can end up in or the other
 versions for a variety of reasons. We package wxPython with the Mac GRASS
 app, but that won't help the version mismatches if other Python versions
 are installed.
