[GRASS-dev] GRASS 7 crashes on startup on Mac

[Michael Barton]

I just installed wxPython 2.9.0.4 for Python 2.6 (for backward compatibility with Snow Leopard). It razed an error on configuration. In checking, here is what I get.

/usr/local/lib/wxPython-2.9.4.0/bin/wx-config --list

    Default config is osx_carbon-unicode-2.9

          No config found to match: /usr/local/lib/wxPython-2.9.4.0/bin/wx-config --list
          in /usr/local/lib/wxPython-2.9.4.0/lib/wx/config

          Please install the desired library build, or specify a different
          prefix where it may be found.  If the library is not installed
          you may call its wx-config directly by specifying its full path.


  Also available in /usr/local/lib/wxPython-2.9.4.0:
    osx_carbon-unicode-2.9


Any idea what is wrong? 

MUST I use wxPython 2.9 ONLY with Python 2.7??? That means no more Snow Leopard compatibility.

I have not seen the toolbox, but it may reuse the same code. If I knew what this new code is, I might be able to troubleshoot it. But I don't have time to try to reverse engineer it without guidance as to where to look. The error on importing wx is misleading as to what the real error is.

It might be related because from the errors in the log it seems that the virtual grass session is not there. If the problem is still there, please send me updated compilation log.
