[GRASS-dev] GRASS for Mac problem

[Michael Barton]

William,

Thought I'd send this on to the dev list for more information

See my responses below.

Cheers

2. A student here has been unable to run any of my advance dev builds, 6.5 or 7. She gets odd and clearly bogus errors. I've also seen this kind of errors on a couple of Windows machines. She has a new computer with OS X 10.6 up to date and stock python/wxpython. When she starts GRASS 7, for example, she gets the following error that claims she does not have standard Python modules (no question that she DOES have these modules; Python runs fine for her otherwise AND with GRASS 6.4). Have you run into this? Any idea what the problem is? I've had her check on her python and wxpython. All seems OK. And AFAIK, her frameworks are up to date.

grass etc/clean_temp?  My last 7.0 build from June has this.

clean_temp() is a method defined in grass70. It uses another method in grass70, call()

call() is just a shortcut to subprocess.call(), which is standard python syntax, with some options for windows user.

The error that subprocess.call() does not exist is bogus, since Kirsten has the standard Python 2.5.1 and 2.6 installations that come with Mac OS X 10.6. GRASS 6.4 works fine for her with the wxpython interface. So it isn't a corruption of her python installation.

But I can't figure out what is generating this error.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Michael
