[GRASS-dev] GRASS 6 NOT broken on Mac

[Michael Barton]

Something installed another Python version without my knowledge. Getting rid of this solved the problem.

This is true for the current svn version I just updated and for the version I compiled 28 June--both release branch and dev branch. I updated all frameworks today, but I don't know if I tested the 28 June version of GRASS 6 after I compiled it. So I don't know if it is in the updated frameworks (updated on 29 June) or in the GRASS code. GRASS 7 works fine. When I try to launch GRASS 6, I get the following error after selecting a mapset and clicking 'start grass'.
