This indicates that "gisbase" is set to /home/pierrer/grassdata, which
is probably incorrect. The grass70 script uses the GISBASE environment
variable if it is set (in general, it shouldn't be), otherwise it uses
a value which is hard-coded into the grass70 script itself (line 37;
the actual value is set during "make install").

The value should be the top-level directory of the GRASS installation.
