Comment (by martin):

 Ok, let me try it this way:

 {{{
 jive: 23:30:10 ~> /opt/GRASS70/bin/grass70 -text
 /home/martin/grassdata/world/PERMANENT
 [...]
 Hit RETURN to continue
 Starting GRASS GIS...
 </home/martin/grassdata/world/PERMANENT> is not a valid GRASS location
 }}}

 This doesn't come by surprise, since the entire $GISDBASE has yet to be
 created. Next try, adding "-c":


 {{{
 jive: 23:32:25 ~> /opt/GRASS70/bin/grass70 -c -text
 /home/martin/grassdata/world/PERMANENT
 [...]
 Hit RETURN to continue
 Starting GRASS GIS...
 The location <world> does not exist. Please create it first.
 }}}

 So, should I conclude that creating a new $GISBASE is currently impossible
 in 7.0 SVN trunk without using a GUI ?

 Cheers, Martin.
