For once I'm the one that can't run something while others can ;(

Looks like a 32/64bit issue.  Probably started with the switch to ctypes for nviz.  When I can get the GUI to run, I should be able to figure this out.

What does this return in a Terminal:

file /Users/helena/grassdev7/GRASS-7.0.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libgrass_datetime.dylib

With the GUI running, open Activity Monitor.app (Utilities folder) and find the process "Python" - what is its "Kind" (you may need to show the Kind column with View->Columns->Kind)?

And, what architectures did you configure GRASS for? (--with-macosx-archs=)  Because wxpython is only available 32bits, even if you only want a 64bit GRASS, you also need to compile it 32bits, ie:

--with-macosx-archs="i386 x86_64"

[Marvin]  You think you have problems?  What are you supposed to do if you ARE a maniacally depressed robot?  No, don't try and answer, I'm 50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer...
