Comment(by grruddy):

 I am getting a similar error. I installed GRASS 6.4.2 on a SLES 10 system
 with no problem. Now, I am attempting to install GRASS 6.4.2 on a RHEL 6
 system, but am getting the following error upon startup.

 The only difference I can identify is that I am using GCC 4.7.0 and that
 my wxPython installation is installed in a seperate site-packages location
 than the system version of Python 2.6.6. This seperate site-packages
 location has been added to the PYTHONPATH, and the initial launch page
 appears allowing me to select my Location and mapset. However, once the
 splash screen appears, this error is triggered. Any ideas what may be
 causing this?
