yeah, this is quite bad. opened as bug #928.

ok, well covered ground then.

in ~/.bashrc I have:
export GRASS_ADDON_PATH=/usr/local/src/grass/addons


most GRASS_* enviro variables I set in .grass.bashrc, but that one has
to be set before init.sh is run.

(grass-addons/display/d.shortcuts/, but r.out.gmt is a better example)

wxGUI right?

"r.out.gmt" alone does that because it thinks it is running from a
script (because the GUI "script" calls it). If you type "r.out.gmt --ui"
at the wxGUI Cmd> prompt you get the popup option window.

you get this rather unhelpful popup error too:
  __Error in command execution r.out.[snip]__
  Execution failed: 'r.out.gmt'

For me it runs and writes the file and says "r.out.gmt complete.", but
it never returns. If I click the [Stop] button to kill it, it does nothing.
Clicking the window dressing "X" to close the window I get the above
unhelpful popup error message again in the wxGUI output tab:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/src/grass/svn/releasebranch_6_4/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/goutput.py", line 486, in OnCmdAbort

    self.requestCmd.abort()
AttributeError: 'CmdThread' object has no attribute 'requestCmd'


I get pretty much the same thing from the real terminal prompt, except
there the extra --ui is not needed.

yeah, but I don't know why. 6.5+ seems ok.


hmph, it's worse: ALL shell scripts from the command prompt are broken
when GRASS_GUI=tcltk. The error is:
  sh: $GRASS_WISH: command not found
